In the first episode of A Call to Adventure, the official Octalysis Prime podcast, our guest is the creator of the Octalysis framework of gamification himself, Yu-kai Chou! The godfather of gamification has been playing the game of life for 35 years. Yu-kai’s Call to Adventure came at the age of 17, when he realised he had to go out and... fight monsters in real life. He went on to build one of the most popular frameworks in gamification, impacting over a billion unique user experiences around the world! What are some of the things we can learn from Yu-kai’s story?
