Brandon Tschacher - Milwaukee Esports Alliance, Absolutes, Leadership, and How Much is Enough? - Ep#41

Brandon Tschacher is one of Wisconsin's most visible leaders. He has been recognized as an “Executive to Watch” (2021) by the Milwaukee Business Journal, was named one of the “Philanthropic 5” by the United Way of Greater Milwaukee (2020), received the “National Exceptional Service Award" by the Salvation Army USA (2020), and was named a “40 Under 40” by the Milwaukee Business Journal (2018).


A Nintendo 64 dropped off by his Mother-In-Law sparked an interest in collecting vintage video games. Fast forward a few years, and that ballooned into a deep dive into the modern gaming space, and eventually, Esports. Now, as the President of the Milwaukee Esports Alliance, Brandon's daily work consists of bringing vibrancy, clarity, and success to the Esports industry in Wisconsin and beyond. In this episode, Brad and Brandon discuss career goals and "what is enough", the state of the Esports industry and the nuance of it comparative to "regular" gaming, authenticity in community, social media and it's impact on society, the importance of leaders, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and much more.
