In this episode of Game Changers, Jackson Vaughan explores the rising power of IP licensing in today's gaming landscape—why it's becoming essential for discoverability, and how developers are using it to drive growth across mobile, PC, and console.We unpack the challenges facing studios today, from rising ad costs to shrinking visibility, and spotlight how familiar brands and characters can give games a vital edge. With examples from Monopoly Go! to Scopely's billion-dollar strategy, we look at how licensed IP is helping developers cut through the noise, reach high-value players, and extend a game's lifecycle.Plus, we dive into the growing trend of major IP holders like Disney and LEGO partnering with trusted studios instead of building in-house—and why that's a smart play in a high-risk market.In a world of endless content, IP isn't just a shortcut to attention—it's a serious business strategy.Liked what you heard?

Art school isn't the typical starting point for a tech industry leader, but for Jessica Neal, former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, it was the first step in an extraordinary career. In this episode, Jessica shares how she transitioned from an aspiring artist to headhunter to leading Netflix's talent strategy during its explosive growth. Jessica emphasizes the critical importance of providing clear direction and context when it comes to leadership. “If you don't give the right context and your team isn't doing well, guess whose fault it is? Yours.” Jessica doesn't sugar coat the reality of what it takes to lead well and effectively today. Empower your teams? What does empower mean? How about let people do their work and get rid of bureaucracy? Jessica provides a masterclass in adaptability and strategic thinking. She reveals how Netflix's unique culture of “freedom and responsibility” shaped its success and how she implemented the “context, not control” philosophy to empower teams. As a current venture partner at TCV, board member for cutting-edge companies, and co-host of the TruthWorks podcast, Jessica offers invaluable insights on: Identifying and nurturing top talent in high-growth environments Creating a culture of clarity and context to drive business success Evolving HR practices to meet the demands of modern, global workforces Navigating the complexities of DEI initiatives in today's political climate The future of work and how leaders can prepare for ongoing changes Guest Resources: TCV TruthWorks Podcast LinkedIn Instagram About Jessica: Jessica Neal is a seasoned talent and human resources executive who has made significant contributions to some of the most innovative companies in the tech industry. Currently serving as a Venture Partner at TCV (Technology Crossover Ventures), a leading growth equity firm, Jessica brings her extensive experience in talent management and organizational culture to help scale high-growth companies. Jessica's career journey is as unconventional as it is impressive. She began her professional life as an artist, earning a BFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York City.

Jessica is perhaps best known for her transformative work at Netflix, where she spent over 11 years across two tenures.

She served as Chief People Officer at Scopely, a mobile gaming company, and as Vice President of Talent at Coursera, an online education platform. These experiences further honed her skills in building and scaling teams in fast-paced, high-growth environments. Today, Jessica leverages her expertise as a board member for several companies, including JFrog, a DevOps platform, and Public.com, a social investing platform. Her board service allows her to share her insights on talent strategy, organizational culture, and scaling operations with the next generation of tech leaders.

Lured Up Podcast 340: Meeting With NianticLive Streamed on - 3/15/25Publish Date - 3/19/25This was quite the week in Pokémon GO. With the Community reeling from the news of the sale to Scopely. The amount of uncertainty and emotion is at an all time high. With feelings spanning the entire spectrum of thought, some Trainers remain concerned with cautious optimism, while others think this will spell out the demise of Pokémon GO as we know it. While our perspective is definitely to be optimistic while calling it like we see it, we had some of our concerns and doubts eased a bit after meeting with Niantic for a Q&A session to discuss the transition.I was able to meet with Michael Steranka the Senior Product Director on Pokémon GO and Mark Van Lommel, Niantic's Director of Communications, Games and Influencer Relations. Our 30 minute Zoom call was a no-nonsense information fest, where a small group of Pokémon GO creators from around the world could communicate directly with Niantic to have their questions answered.On this episode we will go through in detail some of the key questions that were asked, and Niantic's detailed and confidence inspired responses. Time will absolutely tell what the future holds for Pokémon GO, but for now we were able to address some of the topics that matter most to Trainers. From Niantic's core values of exercise, exploration and real world social interaction to the reputation that Scopely games have over their monetization practices, Niantic was fully transparent and didn't shy away from answering every question. By the time episode 341 drops, we will have a second meeting with Niantic, where we hope to have even more questions answered!

Disney is making a big play for a new demographic of customers in Australia as it adds ESPN to Disney+. The owner of Pokemon Go will sell its gaming division for $3.5 billion USD to video game developer Scopely. Zara’s owner has seen its revenue jump to over $12 billion USD for the last quarter… but it’s warned of a very uncertain future because of tariffs and US demand. _ Download the free app (App Store): http://bit.ly/FluxAppStore Download the free app (Google Play): http://bit.ly/FluxappGooglePlay Daily newsletter: https://bit.ly/fluxnewsletter Flux on Instagram: http://bit.ly/fluxinsta Flux on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flux.finance —- The content in this podcast reflects the views and opinions of the hosts, and is intended for personal and not commercial use.

This week, Sonos halts streaming box plans, AI search tools face inaccuracies, Niantic sells to Scopely, and Siri, Gemini and Alexa+ upgrades!

This week on the pod, things are getting wild—because nothing screams "totally ethical government" like a Tesla dealership popping up on the White House lawn! Yep, Trump casually rolled up to his new South Lawn Tesla dealership—complete with a free, live-streamed commercial on Musk's X platform. Ethics, schmethics! And hey, nothing screams "I'm totally into electric vehicles now" like last year's EV-hating candidate sitting in a Cybertruck and shouting out Elon Musk's patriotic greatness. Seems legit.Speaking of questionable decisions, Casey Anthony's back—again—because who wouldn't trust parenting advice from someone with her…unique qualifications? Casey's now on TikTok, claiming she's here to advocate for Caylee and give legal advice. Definitely sounds promising, right? Her attorney called it out perfectly: it's not about redemption; it's about clicks, controversy, and a chance to remind us all (again) how tragic her past is. Shocker.Finally, because the mobile gaming world just wasn't complete, Scopely now owns Pokémon Go. Yep, that Scopely—the folks famous for games like "Yahtzee with Buddies." Niantic handed over their golden goose, along with Monster Hunter Now and Pikmin Bloom. So get ready for your augmented-reality addiction to hit new heights—or new monetization nightmares. Probably both.This week's lineup has it all: ethical gymnastics at the White House, Casey Anthony's latest attempt at relevancy, and the corporate takeover of your childhood nostalgia. Seriously, folks, what are we doing?*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD*************************************************************

Lured Up Podcast 338Livestreamed on - 2/28/2025Publish Date - 3/1/2025What an interesting week it has been! After the shocking news last week about Niantic's rumored 3.5 Billion Dollar Sale of their gaming division to Scopely, the Community has seemed to let it all go in trade for hype about GO Tour! We aren't sure if this is good or bad, but we should all stay alert as if it does happen, it may come out of nowhere.It's been a long drive on the Road To Unova this week as we started working our way through the Tour Pass. We discuss if the Battle Pass format is a slippery slope or if it is a welcomed addition to the game. From issues with the UI to unengaging tasks, it really is all about the rewards, which so far have been pretty awesome, so long as you shelled out $20 for the Tour Pass Deluxe.Black and White Kyurem will have new Adventure Effects with unique benefits. From making GO Plus catches easier to keeping jumpy Pokémon standing still during the catch sequence, these two new effects should see significant usage from Trainers during Unova Tour.With Dual Destiny coming to a close after Unova Tour Global, Might & Mastery will be here before you know it. With Kubfu and Urshifu leading the charge, it appears to be another Season of non-stop events, although the Raid lineups seem to be less than stellar. Combined with the March Content Update, there is no signs of Niantic slowing down as we will have things to do every weekend, making the game-life balance a tough juggling act.Once we get through the March Update, we talk about the first new event of the Season, Powerful Potential, which brings with it an $8 event ticket, in a very transactional feeling encounter with a second Kubfu. Is Niantic training us to be ready for aggressive monetization from Scopely? We may never know, but what is clear, is that PGO has really been asking for more time and money than it has in the past.Road to Unova: bit.ly/LU335RoadToUnova TourPass: bit.ly/LU333TourPass Unova Tour Global: bit.ly/LU330UnovaGlobalKyurem Adventure Effects: https://bit.ly/LU338AdventureEffects Might & Mastery: https://bit.ly/LU338MightMasteryMarch Content Update: https://bit.ly/LU338March Powerful Potential: https://bit.ly/LU338PowerfulPotential LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com    Voicemail and SMS: 732-835-8639 Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate Connect with us on multiple platforms! https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork HostsKen PescatoreAdam TuttleWriter and ProducerKen PescatoreExecutive Producer XanderShow music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾http://instagram.com/GameChopshttp://twitter.com/GameChopshttp://soundcloud.com/GameChopshttp://facebook.com/GameChopshttp://youtube.com/GameChopshttp://www.gamechops.comIntro MusicLake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix) TetracaseGameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/https://soundcloud.com/tetracase https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0Break MusicNational ParkMikel & GameChopsGameChops - Poké & Chillhttp://smarturl.it/pokechillhttps://twitter.com/mikel_beatsOutro MusicVast Poni CanyonCG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix)GameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/ http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beatshttps://soundcloud.com/glitchxcityPokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2024 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.Lured Up and the Pokémon Professor Network are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo.#pokemon #pokemongo #podcast
