People often compare business strategy to combat, and sports.  

In sports, we grow up learning it’s the game that counts – winning isn’t everything. Which is true, unless you’ve got money on the game. 

It’s not always legal to bet on the outcome of games. But Zach Dixon has found a way.

Zach Dixon

Zach is the co-founder of Players Lounge – a real and virtual place where you can bet on the outcome of video and computer games.

Brian Levy

Brian Levy is not concerned with winning. As a matter of fact he’s focused on not winning. Which is not the same as losing.

The win-win outcome is one of the principles of a Japanese martial art called Aikido. Brian Levy is the Director and chief instructor at NOLA Aikido in Mid City.
