Video Game Entrepreneur – Beau Button – Ep 126

Video Game Entrepreneur – Beau Button – Ep 126  Beau Button President and CTO of Atlas Reality - Linkedin - Has a very interesting story and spends a majority of his time outside of work building through 3D printing.  Beau has a background in computer hardware and software. Atlas Reality builds video games as a consultancy and builds their own games.     We talked about the process of building location-based games. Beau says “It’s a nightmare building these games”. It’s refreshing to hear someone really tell you how it is.    Then we talked about 3D printing for the 2nd half of our conversation.    Number one tip:  If you are an entrepreneur trying to start a software business, don’t try to teach yourself coding. Find a technical co-founder.    Contact info: Linkedin  This week’s episode is Sponsored by Onshape.  Onshape is the only cloud-native product development platform featuring professional-grade CAD and data management.

Hi this is Scott Tarcy and welcome to the Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast I’m a mechanical engineer and the president of CADdesignhelp.com. My company does CAD work and prototyping. I love designing and inventing products and creating businesses around that activity. There are many podcasts out there about entrepreneurship and a few about inventing, but I have yet to find a podcast specifically about the engineering and technical side of entrepreneurship Since I couldn’t find the exact podcast that interests me as a design engineer and entrepreneur, I decided to go out and create it myself My strategy with this podcast is to interview engineers, designers and inventors who have created businesses around their inventions and products I specifically want to focus on the engineering and design side of their products and inventions
