Manage episode 348914326 series 3269387
Will English IV (the fourth!) grew up wanting to be in broadcasting. He had various jobs growing up but imagined myself as a newscaster or a weatherman, but the path to a stable career was very long. A competitive gamer at Homewood-Flossmoor High School and Northern Illinois University, Will saw esports as an opportunity to meld those worlds together. In this episode, we dive into Will's passion for the Fighting Game Community (FGC), his quest to build an amazing experience in virtual and physical spaces, what gaming has meant for his own mental health, and his love for his brother and connection they made through Sonic the Hedgehog.
