From Hobbyist to Game Developer: The Unorthodox Journey of Denis Odera
Description
We all know the saying, "those who can't do, teach". But what's often left unsaid is that those who can't do, deconstruct to understand and not only teach those around them, but lead them to do better.
In this week's episode, my fellow co-host, Denis Odera, shares with us his story of the kid who always lost to his older brother whilst playing video games, but instead of wallowing in his defeat, like a true sportsman, he learnt the game instead. Today, Denis is a leading game developer and producer in Nairobi. He shares with us his unorthodox story, the secrets to succeeding on this unbeaten path and how to use other passions beyond the field, to excel.
As always, if you loved this episode, share it with those who need to hear it.
