How I turned 17 hours of daily gaming into millions

Ever been told gaming was a waste of time?

I spent 17 hours a day playing World of Warcraft in college. Nearly got kicked out. Had a 1.0 GPA. My parents thought I was throwing my life away.

Plot twist: Those "wasted" gaming hours taught me everything I needed to build multiple million-dollar businesses.

Here's the thing - every skill that made me a top player translated directly to business:

• Guild leadership → Team management

• Resource allocation → Business strategy

• Raid coordination → Project execution

• Tilt control from poker → Emotional resilience

• High-stakes decisions → Risk management

Even today, when I'm hiring, I actively look for high-ranked gamers. (Fun fact: The founder of Shopify specifically recruits former Starcraft pros.)

I break down exactly how I channeled my gaming addiction into business success, including:

• The moment everything changed

• Which gaming skills matter most in business

• How to make the transition yourself

• Plus a surprising truth about my 20s

If you've ever felt guilty about gaming or struggled to bridge that gap between virtual and real-world success, this one's for you.
