➡️ About The Guest

Gary Kusin is a pioneering American entrepreneur and business executive, best known as the co-founder of GameStop, a Fortune 500 company that revolutionized the video game retail industry. His journey began in cosmetics, founding Babbage's in 1984, which evolved into GameStop under his visionary leadership. Kusin's strategic acumen transformed GameStop from a single store into a global powerhouse with over 7,000 locations across 14 countries, reshaping how consumers access and experience video games.

Beyond GameStop, Kusin's impact on the business world is far-reaching. As CEO of Kinko's from 2001 to 2004, he orchestrated a remarkable turnaround, culminating in its $2.4 billion acquisition by FedEx. His expertise has been sought by technology giants, serving on the boards of Cirrus Logic and Sabre Holdings. Kusin's contributions to business have earned him prestigious recognitions, including the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and induction into the Dallas Business Hall of Fame.
