For interview no.5 on TBD we brought in one of the most well known people on the business side of esports, thanks to his stream of industry content on LinkedIn and also his podcast. Chris Smith has been involved in almost every aspect of the business, having started out being a semi-pro player, organised events and been a commentator, before setting up BIG Esports in 2017.

Chris has great insights and views on all aspects of the esports scene from; teams seeing themselves as marketing agencies, content creators becoming more involved in starting teams and the future of the recent influx in sports stars getting involved. He's helped many brands in Australia navigate this relatively new space and he was happy to share some of those stories too.

Lots to get through and one we're sure you'll enjoy. You can follow Chris on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/smithymayo) and check out his podcast at https://www.bigesports.gg/podcast

Thanks as always for tuning in and we'll see you again soon.

Dan, Trev and Ben.
