Welcome to the Esports Connected Podcast, hosted by Megan Van Petten! In this episode, we sit down with Ben Traub, Director of Sales at ggCircuit. With nearly 30 years in software sales, nonprofit development, and event production, Ben brings a unique perspective to the esports industry.

He shares his journey from early gaming with siblings to leading sales at ggCircuit, where he supports LAN centers and schools with tools that simplify esports operations. We talk about the growth of scholastic esports, the impact of the “Esports Winter,” and why building well-rounded players matters.

Ben’s passion for service, community, and keeping gaming fun makes this a conversation worth tuning into.
