Everyone slowly starts coming back from their summer breaks and I hope that all of you had some quality time with your loved ones and enough time to spend for things you enjoy, like your hobbies - which is also the topic of todays podcast. My guest is Jon Rissik, CEO of Dovetail games. He and his team craft hobbies as a business and deliver world class digital fishing and train experiences to their customers.

Jon will share some insights about his career, leadership style and talk about Dovetails seven pillars describing how to craft a monetisable hobby:

  1. Collecting: Can I build and display my unique collection?
  2. Customising: Can I shape existing content or build new content?
  3. Mastering: Do I have everything I need to go from novice to expert?
  4. Doing: Is there a realistic, beautiful world for me to enjoy?
  5. Sharing: Can I share content and discuss my hobby with others like me?
  6. Viewing: Can I watch and read the experience of others?
  7. Shopping: Is there an engaging, personalised shopping experience.
