53 | Twitch: Kevin Lin

Rock the Boat | Asian American Podcast

Cofounder of Twitch and Gold House Collective almost became a fish farmer?! This week, Lucia sits down with Kevin Lin, the Cofounder and COO of Twitch, the premier live streaming service for gamers. Kevin opens up about being bullied as a child and how gaming became his escape as well as a way to build community. He also speaks about what he’s doing to give back to both Asian Americans and entrepreneurs through Gold House and the AUM Group Film Fund.
