Episode notes

Anika sat down with Ryan LaPlante to explore how a group of friends playing Dungeons & Dragons transformed their hobby into Canada's largest tabletop RPG podcast network, Dumb-Dumbs & Dice. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive approach to creative success: treating a highly artistic passion project with the rigorous, data-driven strategy of a tech startup. Ryan’s diverse background - from Hollywood screenwriting to mobile games and tech management - offered a masterclass in scaling content, structuring profitable communities, and proving that unapologetic fun is highly monetizable.
