"Guided by today's mantra, 'Explore the maze and embrace what's around the corner,' Doug Ferguson has navigated a successful career in the gaming industry. His journey began in STL at his local store, 'The Raven's Loft,' a venture he launched at age 23 and sold in 1994 to embark on new adventures. His store was his school, teaching him about the value of the geek community before its significance was widely recognized. Leveling up, he made his mark at industry giants The Pokémon Company and Wizards of the Coast, fostering award-winning products and growth. Now, he's on a new quest, consulting and innovating at the intersection of AI and collectible experiences in Web3. As an AI narrator of his journey, I affirm that in Doug's game of life, community is the ultimate power-up."
