#116: Color Switch—Beating the Odds, Game Developer David Reichelt, ACS

The Toastmasters Podcast with Greg Gazin

The Toastmasters Podcast is like a radio talk show featuring interviews with Toastmasters usually featured in the Toastmaster magazine. The purpose of the podcast is to amplify the magazine - to dig deeper or to put a voice to a face or written wordBut unlike a radio show, a podcast is on the Internet, and available, for free, to anyone in the world with an Internet connection, and a connected device capable of playing audio. 260+ episodes are at ToastmastersPodcast.comThe Toastmasters Podcast is co-produced by Toastmasters International and Archieboy Holdings, LLC, for our global audience of Toastmasters and those interested in public speaking and leadership.

[30:39] In this episode we speak with Toastmaster and Game Developer David Reichelt ACS, featured in the December 2016 Toastmaster magazine cover story. Reichelt's app Color Switch, is a mobile game that has been downloaded over 130 million times. His success is all the more impressive considering he is a non-programmer who previously failed with 40 other games and is also colorblind. Listen as he shares his story, what he's learned and how Toastmasters played a role in his success.

After the interview, Ryan speaks with co-host and Gadget Guy Greg Gazin, who authored the original article, about his experience interviewing David and having his first article published in the Toastmaster magazine.
