S3 E12: Managing Thousands of Real-Time Game Servers: The Architecture of Apex Hosting with Seth Mattox

Seth Mattox is a 33 year old single dude with a degree in finance, living in St. Petersburg FL. Both of his parents were computer coders, so some of his earliest memories in life are watching his mother type on a keyboard as he fell asleep. He can't remember life without a gaming console of some sort within arms reach.When he was 12, he and his friends created their crew concept of "we don't ever want to stop gaming". They decided when they were in their early 20's that they wanted to build a business system that would allow them to game - forever. Seth is an avid rock climber, cycler, he likes to visit local breweries, he likes to cook, and network in the local entrepreneurial communities. He spends a lot of time on a boat or the beach with his girlfriend, most recently doing some scalloping - which is a pretty rad date night.Combined with his desire to game forever, he and his partners approached the gaming community applying real estate concepts with digital hosting. He and his partners started a Minecraft hosting company, with the best support in the industry.This is the creation story of Apex Hosting.SponsorsKeep Optimising Podcast (https://keepoptimising.com/)Cloud Academy (https://cloudacademy.com)Linkshttps://apexminecrafthosting.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/smattox/https://entrepreneursocialclub.com/entrepreneurs/seth-mattox/Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Amazing tools we use:If you want the best publishing platform for your podcast, with amazing support & people - use Transistor.fmWant to record your remote interviews with class?
