b'People often compare business strategy to combat, and sports. In sports, we grow up learning it s the game that counts winning isn t everything. Which is true, unless you ve got money on the game. It s not always legal to bet on the outcome of games. But Zach Dixon has found a way. Zach is the co founder of Players Lounge a real and virtual place where you can bet on the outcome of video and computer games. Brian Levy is not concerned with winning. As a matter of fact he s focused on not winning. Which is not the same as losing. The win win outcome is one of the principles of a Japanese martial art called Aikido. Brian Levy is the Director and chief instructor at NOLA Aikido in Mid City. Brian Levy and Zach Dixon are two New Orleanians with two very different takes on winning and business.
