On this episode Abadesi talks to Delane Parnell, founder and CEO of PlayVS. PlayVS is *the* community for amateur high school esports.

He also has an incredible story of overcoming adversity to get to where he is today.
In this episode they discuss...
* His incredible “origin story.”
* How he learned to set his sights high.
