Episode Summary
On this episode of Utah Business Spotlight, host Peter Anthony sits down with Jesse Conger, owner of Good Days Entertainment, to talk about building an original comic book and board game universe from Utah. What started with video games, racing mods, notebooks, and late-night ideas became a full entertainment company with comics, board games, Kickstarter campaigns, artists, collectors, and a much bigger vision.
Jesse Conger walks Peter Anthony through the origin of Good Days Entertainment. The Legendary Stratos League. Escaped Death Race 2182. The connective tissue between the story world and the game world. Jesse Conger explains why the name Good Days came from the philosophy that showed up long before the company existed, and how it now anchors every product decision.

Reserve Your SessionSome ideas stay in your head. Others keep pushing until you finally build them.
Peter Anthony and Jesse Conger go into the honest arc of the path. Construction. Years of gaming and poker. Then one of the top sales careers in the country. Then the decision every creative eventually faces. Leave the safe income, move to Utah, and finally build the thing you cannot stop thinking about. Jesse Conger did it, and Good Days Entertainment is the result.
The conversation moves into the operational reality of an independent comic and board game publisher. Rebuilding a comic series. Coordinating 30 artists across 12 issues. Running Kickstarter campaigns. Wearing every creative and business hat. And the truth about Kickstarter marketing that most first-time creators miss until they are inside the campaign.
The episode closes with Jesse Conger's advice to younger creators. Break the old patterns. Take the shot while the idea is still burning. Read the story, then play the finale. Utah Business Spotlight is produced by INCubator Marketing Agency and filmed in Sandy, Utah.
