In this episode recorded live at XP Summit, Assad sits down with Travis Gibson, Business Development Manager at Snowden Studios — a co-development partner known for work on Fallout Shelter, Forza, Diablo IV, and more.
Travis shares his unconventional path into BD, from coaching high-level hockey to selling championship rings, and how those experiences shaped his competitive mindset. They talk candidly about the real difference between sales and biz dev, the power of vulnerability in building trust, and how his team turned a surprise client loss into a rallying moment for the whole studio.
Whether you're just starting out or deep in the game, this episode is packed with honest insights on leadership, communication, and what it really means to build partnerships that last.
