ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Maria Egan is the Global Head of Music at Riot Games, where she’s shaping how music weaves into gaming, esports, and storytelling experiences that reach millions of fans worldwide. She has collaborated with artists from Lil Nas X and NewJeans to Porter Robinson, and she’s been recognized by Billboard as one of the most influential women in music.
She views music as a vehicle of belonging, a means of creating shared memories and emotional connections across boundaries. And she’s asking profound questions about creativity in the age of AI, about how we protect and nurture culture when technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, and about what it takes to lead teams with empathy and psychological safety.
In this episode, we explore how creativity becomes stronger in relationships, how leaders can hold space for interdependence, and what it means to stay grounded in the human magic of art and connection.
