ALWAYS POSTED A WEEK EARLIER ON PATREON

Podcast Updates

I had not one but two podcast recordings on Thursday, and it got me thinking about shaking things up a bit. Instead of spreading them out throughout the week, I seriously consider focusing all my energy on Thursdays for these fantastic interviews. It's like a podcast power day!

 Let's dive into the action. The first interview, at 7 pm, was an absolute blast! I enjoyed chatting with the incredible Mark Redmond, an inspiring storyteller and acclaimed author of the captivating memoir, "Called." Did I mention he's a favorite Vermont storyteller for The Moth? Yeah, this guy knows his stuff. He dropped some profound wisdom on storytelling and shared priceless advice on the nuances of writing for scripts versus writing a book. Mind-blowing stuff, I tell you!

 But the excitement didn't stop there, my friends. Brace yourselves for interview number two. This time, I had the privilege of hosting the internationally acclaimed writer, game designer, and mastermind behind Four Horsemen Publishing—Owen Kerr! We delved into the fascinating world of tabletop roleplaying games and how the culture has evolved. And guess what? We even got to explore the therapeutic benefits of roleplaying. Talk about a game-changer!

Project Updates

I am delighted to announce the release of my latest World of Warcraft video, marking the third installment of the widely acclaimed 'From Azeroth to Wall Street series. This newest endeavor has surpassed its predecessors in viewership, igniting a spark of hope. Could it indicate that our audience is ready to embrace these engaging videos further as I continue producing them? The signs are promising, and I eagerly anticipate a growing interest in our captivating content.

Allow me to share my genuine enthusiasm for the convergence of two beloved passions: investing in the stock market and indulging in the immersive world of World of Warcraft. The seamless amalgamation of these pursuits has presented an exhilarating endeavor that allows me to intertwine my professional acumen with my interests. As we witness the positive reception and evolving viewership, I find myself considering the expansion of this unique venture. We may explore a broader range of nerd culture themes, delving into beloved franchises such as Star Wars, Star Trek, and beyond. The potential for engaging content is vast. I am thrilled to embark on this exciting journey, inviting esteemed individuals like yourself to join me as we explore the fascinating intersection of gaming and investment landscapes.

What I’m reading

This week, I immersed myself in some light-hearted reading that took the form of three captivating instruction booklets. It all started when I acquired a magnificent Eiffel Tower Lego set from a library auction last year. Nestled in the depths of my basement office, it patiently awaited its moment of glory. And finally, the time had come!

 Piece by piece, over a few days, I embarked on the great task of assembling this grand masterpiece. With close to 3500 intricate elements to arrange, the process was nothing short of mesmerizing. As I meticulously joined each brick, a sense of calm and tranquility washed over me. It was a joy-filled journey as I witnessed the tower steadily rise before my eyes.

 And oh, the joy of completion! Beholding the magnificent Eiffel Tower standing tall, a testament to my determination and creativity, was an experience beyond words. The hours invested in this endeavor were richly rewarded, as a deep sense of satisfaction and accomplishment enveloped me.

 In this enchanting adventure of building, I rediscovered the simple pleasures of crafting something extraordinary. Whether you're a seasoned Lego enthusiast or a novice seeking a delightful diversion, this book is your ticket to experiencing the pure joy of creation. Let your imagination soar as you embark on your high adventure, one brick at a time. Happy building!

Personal Updates

This week, my business and home renovation journey took a leap forward, leaving me brimming with a sense of accomplishment and anticipation. As I delved deeper into the art of drywall mudding for the basement room, I consciously decided to embrace a more relaxed approach. No, rushing this time; I took my sweet time, paying attention to every detail. And boy, did it make a difference! With newfound patience and a steady hand, my efforts yielded remarkable results. The room is gradually transforming into a space that exudes warmth and comfort.

 But that's not all! On the professional front, thrilling opportunities are just around the corner. I am considering signing contracts that will unveil my upcoming career change. The excitement is palpable, and the finish line is within reach. Soon, I can share the exhilarating news buzzing behind the scenes.

 In this harmonious dance between work and home, I've discovered the power of patience, dedication, and unwavering belief in my dreams. Life's progress is about striking a balance and nurturing our professional endeavors and personal spaces. So, my friends, let this be a reminder to savor the journey, relish each step forward, and trust that every milestone brings us closer to the life we envision. Embrace progress, breathe in the inspiration, and let the magic unfold. The best is yet to come!
