About this Podcast:
The Purpose Made Podcast explores where games, entertainment and ideas become worlds. Hosted by Pete Bell, founder of Purpose Made and former Head of Strategic Transformation and Growth at Electronic Arts, the show features candid conversations with the people building, running, funding and shaping the future of entertainment. Games are our starting point. We go deeper into the IP we know and love, and into the ideas that make those worlds last. Many of the most important entertainment experiences of the next decade will begin as video games, then travel across film, television, publishing, sport, technology and culture. We look beyond the game itself: at the worlds underneath it, the franchises that can carry many stories, the businesses that bring them to audiences, and the choices that determine what lasts. Guests include Shawn Layden (former Chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios and President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Am
