Jax Garrett puts the ‘game’ into ‘game-changer’. In 2018, the Newcastle-based entrepreneur founded GGWP Academy, an eLearning and Influencer marketplace platform to help gamers globally become full-timer creators and connect with sponsors.
Jax has skin in the game – she’s a gamer herself and her son competed in a Pokemon tournament in the US when he was just nine. With an intimate knowledge of the Esports industry, Jax saw an opportunity to change it from the inside – and she’s only getting started. Jax tells First Act about her unique career path, how she came up with GGWP Academy and what it means for the world’s next generation of gaming influencers.
Join us each Tuesday for a brand new episode of First Act, because every story has a beginning.
