Game Dev Advice has quickly become a favorite of mine! I love the engaging conversations, insightful content, and actionable advice. I truly learn something every time I listen!

I don’t work in gaming, but I was always curious about the industry and this is a really wonderful way to learn about the major players, career trajectories, and all sorts of interesting behind the scenes happenings. John is a very generous host, giving lots of space to his guests to tell their favorite stories from their careers and guiding the conversation to make sure you get something unique out of every episode. Top of the list for anyone with any interest in the gaming industry for sure!

Super long story short - I graduated from college about 6 years ago and eventually realized that I’m not doing what I love with my career. Listening to this podcast inspired me to really shift gears and head in the direction of game development and software development. Now I’m taking a bunch of courses, building some pretty basic, but pretty cool stuff, and really enjoying the ride. Who would have thought “work” could be fun?! JP has such a great perspective on everything and the conversations between him and the guests on the show really seem to bring this idea to my mind that I could do this. I could be a part of this world and love it. The podcast has a real “human” feel to it and offers up a bunch of food for thought. Like I said in the title, do yourself a favor and give this a listen!
