Join us as we talk to Jessica Manins, co-CEO and co-founder of Beyond; a social gaming and VR studio that is pushing the boundaries of entertainment and technology to bring joyful, immersive, gaming experiences to the masses. 

Jessica talks about Beyond’s evolution working with emerging tech and their mission to create games that everyone can play. She shares her thoughts on social gaming as an invaluable tool for connection and working with Snoop Dogg (!). We also explore the state of the gaming industry in New Zealand and the challenges (and opportunities) brought about by the pandemic and its aftermath.
