The Business of Board Games

On this show, I talk with Michael Mindes. Michael is the Founder of a multi-award-winning company of hobby board games, which he grew from a side interest into a multi-million dollar business. He talks about how the company started up, their growth, business management and how to employ the right people. There is also a particularly interesting aspect to the way in which Michael runs his office based team. He has implemented a ‘self-directed’ approach where there is no hierarchy and each team member is self organized. It has proved to promote a happy, productive work environment and continues to make Michael’s business thrive.
