Episode 10: Erik Martin

Erik Martin revisits a story he told in 2013 at TedX, Redmond WA,
titled "How World of Warcraft Saved Me and My Education." Erik
has since held posts at the US Department of Education, the
Whitehouse Office of Science and Technology (OST) and is now
Senior Manager for Education Programs at game engine, Unity. He
credits much of his success to experiences he had working his way
up to leading an 800 member guild in the popular massively
multiplayer online roleplaying game, World of Warcraft. This
environment became key to his recovery from depression and
anorexia nervosa as a young teenager.
