Today’s episode features Desiree Dickerson, CEO & Co‑Founder of THNDR, in a powerful conversation about leadership, courage, and the realities of being a woman in gaming. Sponsored by Wondr Nation, this discussion unpacks the emotional and strategic layers of navigating male‑dominated rooms, challenging assumptions, and building products players actually want.

Desiree shares candid insights on pitching to investors, finding co‑founders who elevate your strengths, and why listening—not reacting—is the most underrated leadership skill. She also highlights something women in the industry don’t hear enough: the community is more welcoming than you think—and your leap is worth it.
