A day in the life of an eSports dad

Father’s Day is an opportunity to honor the men who always aspire to be the best role model to their children. The busy life between work and taking care of a family of seven, Galaxy Racer Southeast Asia CEO Mitch Esguerra is a testament to this.

According to Esguerra, time management is the key for him in giving time to his three children while leading the scale of Galaxy Racer’s regional operations across the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia to be the transmedia powerhouse in the region’s esports, gaming, and content-creating industry.

“Time is a luxury, and having it well spent is better than just being there doing nothing,” Esguerra said. 

He said being a parent is not that different from how he manages his startup companies by being an authoritative parent, solving problems together with his children, setting clear rules and expectations, and with open communication and natural consequences.   

“I have been growing companies since before I had children, but having children made me realize that I was and am practically the same on both ends. I give my children, as with my team, the same opportunities to speak and be heard, make their own mistakes and learn, and know I am here to mentor them whenever possible, “ he added.

Esguerra is also open to the idea of his children following his footsteps to be in e-sports or content-creation

“I will support my children if they choose to be engaged in esports or content-creation. Like any other endeavor, it requires passion and perseverance. And as long as they have it they keep pushing forward.”

Esguerra also added that, as a father and CEO, has good days and bad days, “I sometimes do not get it right the first time. But I usually remember that I have a vital role to play. And step-up whenever it is needed.”

And the one thing Esguerra wants his children to learn from him is to  “Don’t stop when you’re tired. Stop when you’re done.” -ml-ngs
