What Games Teach Us About Better Leadership (The Ripple Effect Podcast ft. David Lowe-Rogstad)

There's a strange pressure a lot of us feel right now. We're supposed to be innovative, strategic, emotionally intelligent, creative, calm under pressure, and still have enough left at the end of the day for the people we love. That's a lot. And that's why I appreciated this conversation with David Lowe-Rogstad. David has spent more than 25 years at the forefront of creative technology, building teams, companies, and brands through constant change. On paper, he has a history degree. In practice, he's been helping people and organizations stay relevant since 1997. But what really stood out to me is how David thinks about leadership, gamification, and the human side of work. Not just points, badges, or leaderboards, but how play, progress, curiosity, and challenge can help people feel more engaged and less stuck. David has sat in almost every seat inside an agency, so he understands the pressure, the uncertainty, and the issues that can slow even great teams down. He leads with heart and clarity, caring deeply about people while still knowing how to keep things moving. Settle in, listen closely, and Ripple On!!! Can't get enough of David's insights?
