Episode 2: Next-Gen Games and Authentic Marketing with Steven Salz

Rivalry CEO Steven Salz joins the Talking Shop Podcast to discuss the future of gambling followed by an impromptu but interesting conversation on marketing.

In Episode 2 of the Talking Shop Podcast, I was joined by Steven Salz, the CEO of Rivalry, a betting platform with an emphasis on esports.

Steven and I were both sick during this recording, but we had both canceled once before and decided to tough it out.

In the first part of the episode, I get to know Steven and his company before chatting about the history of “next-gen” games in the gambling universe and the difficulty of designing a game that balances entertainment with wagering.

The conversation takes a very interesting turn when we shift to marketing and the difference between authentic celebrity marketing and paid spokespeople, which is definitely worth sticking around for.
