Ever dreamt of turning your passion for gaming into a full-time career? We're here to take you backstage, busting myths and shedding light on the challenges that lie in the path of making it big in the world of streaming. We're exploring the less-trodden paths, where the rise of online platforms could potentially influence sports and celebrity culture. Not just that, we're urging you to build an arsenal of skills beyond gaming, such as video editing, social media management, and audio engineering. This is about preparing the younger generation for careers of the future.
The conversation doesn't end there. We're diving into the complexities of balancing work, family, and content creation. There's no sugarcoating here; we're talking about the importance of multiple income sources if you're venturing into full-time streaming, and we're bringing you valuable insights from our guest who has managed to brilliantly balance his work-from-home job with podcasting. We're also contemplating the idea of exploring content creation post-retirement. If you thought juggling work and hobby was an act, we're here to show you the entire circus.
Now let's get personal! We're sharing our experiences with VR gaming and how it has transformed our relationships with our children. We're opening up about the unique challenges and benefits of being a parent in this ever-evolving world of virtual reality gaming. It's not just about streaming and gaming, it's about navigating friendships in this age of streaming, transitioning between mentorship and peer roles, and the toll of maintaining a professional persona. So join us for a candid, insightful, and honest conversation on these realities.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
