We are proud to announce that our CEO and Founder, Gjorgje Ristikj, was recently the featured guest on the latest episode of CEOpen Mic.
The interview provided a comprehensive look into his entrepreneurial journey, offering a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on managing dual ventures within the highly competitive iGaming sector.
During the session, our CEO detailed the operational intricacies of running two distinct businesses simultaneously: the B2C affiliate platform, Gamblers Connect, and the specialized B2B software solution, Rank Radar.
He explained how Rank Radar was developed to address specific industry needs regarding game tracking and time management, complementing the global operations of the primary affiliate brand.
A significant portion of the conversation focused on the structural advantages of maintaining a small, agile team in the affiliate industry. Gjorgje Ristikj shared candid insights regarding the challenges of scaling, including the necessity of effective delegation strategies for company growth.
He also addressed the realities of failure, discussing how past setbacks with affiliate websites ultimately strengthened the current business model.
The dialogue extended to broader industry philosophy, where our CEO emphasized the critical importance of transparency, honesty, and community within iGaming. He touched upon the psychological aspects of leadership, such as managing ego and the continuous learning required to stay ahead of the competition.
The discussion also referenced influential resources, including a recommendation of Michael Gerber’s literary works on entrepreneurship.
Gjorgje concluded by reflecting on the current B2B landscape and major industry events like ICE Barcelona, framing them as pivotal arenas for networking and business development. The episode stands as a valuable resource for industry professionals seeking to understand the mindset required to thrive in both the B2C and B2B verticals of online gambling.
