“If a community doesn’t exist and I want it to exist, I will make it” with Gabriel Sanchewski
Today Gabriel Sanchewski tells us about his journey from avid gamer to community manager.
Gabriel and I talk about how he even before he was officially a community manager, he would just roll up his sleeves and create the community resources he noticed were missing.
And we hear about how Gabriel came to create and run The Break Room, a private Discord server for community managers.
Games mentioned in this episode: RuneScape, Wizard Wars, Halo 3, Magicka: Wizard Wars, Questland, Squad Busters, Super Auto Pets, Marvel Snap, Silk Song
