#87 The Power of Play in a Serious World: with Mark Camilleri Gambin.

In this episode of the GROWTH Schema podcast, I sit down with Mark Camilleri Gambin, CEO of Talexio, for a conversation that blends technology, imagination, and personal growth. We explore how gaming and fantasy worlds, often seen as escapism, can actually serve as tools for reflection, resilience, and navigating real-life challenges.Mark shares how staying connected to our “child self” can help us remain curious and adaptable, even as responsibilities grow. We also discuss the balance between the virtual and real world, and how the skills we build in one can shape how we operate in the other.Beyond this, we dive into more personal territory, touching on loss, perspective, and the journey of stepping into leadership. Mark reflects on his path to becoming CEO of Talexio, and what it means to lead a product-driven company in a fast-evolving digital landscape.This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always come from the obvious places, sometimes it comes from the worlds we explore, the stories we engage with, and the parts of ourselves we choose not to outgrow.Song by: Travel Acoustic Hip Hop · Action Alexi#LeadershipJourney #TechLeadership #GamingAndGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #DigitalWorlds #MindsetShift #InnerChild #Innovation #GROWTHSchemaPodcast #EndeavourMalta
