E144 That Great Business Next time your 'kids' (3 - 30!) are sitting, playing video games that you think are a huge waste of time, DO NOT STOP THEM. Why? Because gaming is a truly massive business and they could become part of it. To learn more about the industry and businesses within it we are joined on E144 by Stuart Dempsey founder and CEO of Gamerfest – a series of festivals aimed at the massive worldwide gamer community. Do open your mind. It's not necessarily business as we traditionally know it. Stuart believes Ireland can attract the big gaming companies to base themselves here, as the IT and medtech companies have done in the past.But, as is often the case, this isn't Stuart's first foray into business and goes into great detail about the pain of a family business failing.
