I've been playing video games since I got Putt Putt on the computer at two years old. I love Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, Digimon, Avatar (duh), and tons of other cartoons and games. I used to spend 18 hours a day playing World of Warcraft. I read all the Harry Potter books. I like to dress up in cosplay and go to Ren Faire's and conventions (here's a photo of me dressed like a viking holding a raven at Sherwood Forest). My most anticipated game of 2026 is World of Anterra, a pixelated Skyrim-esque RPG. (I backed the Kickstarter campaign in 2020 and have been EAGERLY awaiting it's release all this time.) I like board games like Settlers of Catan. In fact, my co-founder @Rex Loyer regularly hosts board game nights for our local community members (and there will be more coming soon!) I also love learning about history and culture. Yes, I DO think about Rome at least once a week 😂 (have you SEEN the ingenuity of the Roman colosseum?! They literally built a colosseum that could be flooded with water and have boats fight each other!! How could you NOT think about that often?!) I also make weird, cute noises at my dog, and I like to go camp in the woods. Bonus points if I get to hear some wubby dubby dubstep and see lasers while I do it. (Electric Forest, I will come to you one day!) Oh, and don't even get me started on Tarot and Oracle cards. My tattoo was inspired by a hummingbird card pulled in a healing card deck. And then astrology... and personality tests... and psychology in general... Anyway... just felt inspired to share some of my nerd-ness with you all. Where my fellow nerds at?! Share your nerdy passions in the comments!

Today, I had a new member join and immediately share some problems he was facing in the form of procrastination, overwhelm, and burnout in his business. A lot of our community members suffer from these same issues, so I decided to record a quick Loom video explaining why his problems make sense and some ways he can tackle them. His response? He told me he had "never received this level of support in his life". All from me taking 12 minutes out of my day to fire off a quick video. It's this kind of care and support that makes my Skool group feel like a true community. Showing up for my members and showing them that I'm a real human being and I really see and care about them. Plus, it helps build trust and credibility with everyone in my community, not just this one guy! Have you tried recording loom videos for your members? What do you think about this strategy?

I talked to ChatGPT about Goosify so much this year that it put a goose plushie in my year-end review 😂

If you had a warning label, what would it say?

Did you guys know @Goose Dunlavey was hiding some beautiful skills… not only playing but singing as well. Beautiful surprise to end a beautiful day at the Taipei Taiwan IRL today!
