Let's get on with the show So today we have Kevin Lee, he's the CEO of Brigade Media. He's generated over $65 million in revenue through his marketing company and he also is a avid gamer He's at the top 20 on the server for PUBG What are some of the top 10 life hacks that you've learned from video games? Let's start with the very basic the first one is level and gaining exp Everyone knows in games you have to level you have to fight gaining exp get more levels Learn more skills and your character become stronger. It doesn't really matter which game you play Some sometimes you level inside the game go from level one to level 18 in League of Legends Or you just play the same game more often and you get more experience as a player And then you can start shitting on the new players, which is very fun part of the game That concept is exactly the same way in life In business and in even in career you find a job and as you work stay in the career longer You get more experience and then you can move up In job position. Let's say you started as a entry-level accountant a bookkeeper as you work more you become a CPA You become a tax accountant You give the idea to stay in the business you operate over a period of time You become better at it and you start making more money So the concept of leveling up and experience same thing, right? So if you don't grind for example, if you don't do any of that you get no experience You're gonna stay at a low level and then low levels means what low skills and low ability to make more money Exactly, which leads us to the next one which is skills skill trees and items That's actually a very good analogy for picking the right industry or picking the right sector Right a lot of kids these days graduated from university They don't really know what they want to do and this is the very first thing that they have to do Just like in any game you want to choose where you want to go You want to choose what kind of skill you want to learn so that you can become better at it and go down that path Know your role. How's that working in real life and in the game or about knowing what you're good at going back to the marketing example I gave you right? Let's say if you are a strategist You want to provide consulting services for your company or for your client's company You have to know what you have to do rather than concentrating on the Executional level things like oh, how do I work this at works campaign? What kind of keywords I'm looking for you're more looking at the bigger picture You're looking at brand positioning competitor research. You're looking at the next year Projections you're looking at the product mix So knowing your role will allow you to know what you have to focus on concentrate on and spend your effort on Just like knowing whether you're gonna be a jungler or ADC or tanking or support exactly even going more in depth The type of jungler you are right? Do you want to be ganking more or do you want to be invading the enemy jungle more or do you want to be counterganking more? So next one is money and gold. So that's very obvious in business. We need to make money get more gold So how does that apply in the in the game? You get more items through money right the more money you have the better items you can buy It's the same thing in business the more money you're able to accumulate you can choose to use that money to scale your business Having more money just opens up more opportunities both in real life and in game next one is knowing the enemy How's that work? This applies to your competition, right? If you own a business you have to know what their next move is you have to know what kind of trend are going on I work in digital marketing So I have to know at all times what new digital marketing firms pop up here pop up there What is the newest package that they're offering to their clients? So I know exactly what I can offer just like you have to know what the pull down times are what items they have on hand You know what abilities they have their range, right? The next one is know the map. This is actually quite similar to Knowing your enemy knowing your enemy is a little bit more specific where you're trying to look at the enemies cool down You know what they're doing what kind of skill they leveled up What kind of items they have and that translates to what your competition is doing knowing the map you're looking at the Market right you're looking at what people are doing in the market in the game You're trying to watch out for gangs if the other team is pushing for objectives Or if you're in PUBG you have to know where all the players are in real life You're just looking at what the competition is doing overall economy economic factors Political factors and knowing that will just always puts you ahead of the competition now We're gonna talk about some strategies in games. The first one is don't quit while you're ahead Don't quit while your head. So that's about pushing your advantage. Let's say you leak most of your team members are half HP Or close with OHP. Well, you're not gonna go all recall back to base and buy item and come back out Because that's when the people are gonna respond you want to push for objectives You want to get more turrets you want to get that free dragon You want to get that free Baron right same thing in business if you're ahead of the competition or if you head in the market You don't just sit back keep all the money in your bank and do nothing You want to reinvest that into the same market opportunity and try to scale try to capitalize on your advantage Next strategy is knowing when to quit knowing when to quit the exact opposite of the other one, right? So it's about not picking a team fight. You can't win You don't want to fight a fed assassin. Let's say Zed when you're half HP ADC, that's just not gonna work You have to run. It's the same thing when you're doing business. You have to choose your battles You have to choose what kind of products to to sell what kind of products to push and what kind of products or services to drop Let's say you offer a certain type of service You're fairly good at it, but then a new competition where someone else does it so much better for a cheaper price Right, you don't want to compete with that person by dropping how much you know You're going to charge for your product because that will eat your margins and you end up losing money Right, you want to do something else, right? Don't fight these price words These are the battles that you don't want to engage in next one is don't just charge in have a plan You know a lot of people who are in league where you know who are stuck in silver stuck in gold is when they get Ahead or they think they get ahead they just run in and feed or they run it out mid very bad People do that in business all the time There's a lot of opportunities in market that come and go and there's a lot of people that blind the follower trend Cryptocurrency blockchain that sort of stuff big data back then across border e-commerce, right? There's all these big words that people think it's just full of money and they can just go in and do whatever and they can make money Well, that's not the case. You have to know what you're doing You have to have a very actionable plan. Don't rush in whenever you smell something good And the last one is practice makes perfect. It applies for everything. You play a game long enough You get good at it. You do business long enough. You get good at it There's a lot of business locally from where we are, right? Restaurants phenomenally, you know, they open up a business They stay afloat for maybe six months to a year and then they disappear They go bankrupt for you to be a successful restaurant or any business They have to keep going where we're from three years or so and then they become very good at it They become very stable. Let's say if you played in season one You will lead a legends and we'll get back then and if you haven't played until what is the season now season nine? Well, you're a new you don't know anything other people are going to destroy you whatever lane you go to Also same concept applies to getting good at one character instead of playing all the characters You have to master your craft so focus and get mastery over a specific market a specific skill or a specific industry All right, thanks Kevin for your wise gaming advice that we can use to make more money Thank you so much for having me in it Thanks for watching the David Wong entrepreneur show if you like this channel make sure to subscribe and we'll see you soon in the next show
