My guest on the show today is Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare Esports Inc. (CSE: GSQ) (OTCQB: GMSQF). GameSquare is an international gaming and esports company headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The Company is seeking to acquire additional assets and entities serving the gaming and esports markets and, more broadly, in sports and entertainment.

Video games and playing sports online has been around forever, at least it seems that way as a millennial who grew up playing both. However, the idea of Gaming and Esports as a business is relatively new, but is starting to get a lot of institutional support, both from a finance perspective, and even from various sports leagues. In fact, Jerry Jones, Owner of the Dallas Cowboys and probably the most well-known owner in sports, happens to be an investor in Gamesquare.
I met Justin when he participated in a "Gaming" panel we hosted for one of our virtual events, so I invited him on to learn more about how they are approaching monetizing gaming, as well as:
- Evolution of gaming and esports as a business
- Gamesquare's business model
- How involved Jerry Jones and the Goff's of Goff Capital are in Gamesquare, and;
- How the company plans to balance their growth objectives with goal of becoming a profitable business
With that, please enjoy my conversation with Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare Esports Inc. For more information about GameSquare Esports, please visit: https://www.gamesquare.com/
