Brief Summary:

Our podcast guest for this episode is Dr. AnnMaria De Mars. She's currently president of 7 Generation Games, making educational games and the tools to make them. Also she's a seventh degree black belt in Judo and the first American to win the world championship, giving her more right than anyone else on earth to call herself a ‘coding ninja’.

In our conversation today, Dr. De Mars and I discuss being a minority in tech; the little known benefits of working with family members; and this idea of being financially successful in your business while doing good in the world.
