Grand Poobear is a Red Bull e-sports athlete and one of the top competitive video gamers in the world. With thousands of followers on Twitch and Youtube, he earns a very handsome living while simultaneously raising over a million dollars for charity through live events and streams. Payson caught up with Poo at his home in Vancouver, Washington to discuss the grind of esports stardom, why failure is 99% of the job, and how a nearly fatal snowboarding accident took him out of traditional competitive sports and brought him into gaming.
