What’s your version of success? Are you willing to go all in to get it?

In this episode, Tom Fairey joins host Ian Lobas to share what he has learned over the years about business and life. Tom is a great example of how a super-competitive nature makes everything possible. He left his “vanilla” lifestyle on a little island in the UK and moved to the city where he worked for 15 years..

Tom is the founder of Stakester, which he started with almost no money, no coding experience and having never worked in gaming or even owning a PlayStation. Stakester is an entertainment platform that gives gamers a platform to add monetary pride to the online gaming experience. Through proprietary technology, Stakester acts as the third partner in gaming challenges to ensure payouts are handled correctly.

Less than three years later it’s the fastest growing competition platform on the planet, having raised over 5 million bucks. The company is worth over $70 million today.

Tom and Ian discuss the distinction between success and happiness, noting that happiness is fleeting yet it isn’t wise to chase a perception of success only to be unhappy. After all, as they point out, the universe is going to reward you when you remove distractions from your life.
