Gamblers Connect is excited to report that Eman Pulis, the mastermind behind SiGMA, one of the biggest brands in iGaming, recently had a moving interview with Dan Assor, where he discussed his movie-like journey and everything he had to endure and learn in order to become one of the most revered individuals in the industry.
A gripping and insanely engaging interview that will get your attention right from the very first second, though there are many things to learn from one of the pioneers in iGaming, there is one thing said by Pulis that stuck with us immediately – find your Ikigai.
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that urges you to explore the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. According to Pulis, this is the number one formula for success – if you “do what you love, success follows naturally”. And we couldn’t agree more!
Born and raised in Malta, Eman Pulis’s story is literally a fairytale “from rags to riches” as he grew up in humble circumstances and due to sheer determination, charisma, and understanding of self, managed to create one of the biggest and most valuable global iGaming brands on the planet.
What first started as a crushed dream to become an Olympian and represent his country soon turned into motivation to succeed and become the first member of his family to break into new, uncharted territory – business.
Here is where Ikigai comes into the picture. After many ups and downs, Eman Pulis soon realized that the best way to succeed as a businessman is to play to his strengths, and when it comes to the Founder of SiGMA, his “secret weapon” came in the form of his ability to bring people together.
Interestingly enough, his first venture in the event-planning realm was during his university days when he co-organized a New Year’s Eve party for 4,000 people, something that sparked his “Eureka moment” and put Pulis on the path to become what he is today – a global household name for organizing some of the biggest gatherings in the business.
After a decade of organizing some of the biggest parties in Malta, Pulis decided that it was time to move up to bigger and more meaningful things, seeking inspiration in the same niche but in a completely different sector – conferences.
Despite his inexperience in organizing conferences, Pulis took on the challenge head-on and from that idea, the ultimate Summit of iGaming Malta, or as we all in the industry know it, SiGMA was born.
Today, SiGMA is a leading brand that constantly sets the bar when it comes to iGaming events and conferences. From the first SiGMA ever that saw 1,000 attendees to the largest gaming platform on the planet with more than 100,000 unique delegates at every event, Pulis has turned SiGMA into much more than just an iGaming gathering.
We won’t waste any more of your time, as we wholeheartedly recommend that you check out the full interview between Dan Assor and the creator of SiGMA. It is truly an inspirational story straight out of a Hollywood movie that can motivate anyone who wants to succeed not just in iGaming but in anything that you set to achieve.
