September 04, 2015 TGC: 052 Jeff King- The All-In-One Gamer Resource!

Jeff King from All Us Geeks is an UBER resource for gamers.
He runs a geek podcast that does game reviews and shares geek
news, manages the United Geeks Network, does Kickstarter consulting
and voice over work, AND runs a Protospiel event! I'd write
more about all the stuff he does, but my tired hands can't keep up
:) Happy listening!
OH- and Check out Jeff's Protospiel Event HERE

August 19, 2015 TGC: 050 Cam Adair- What could you do if you didn’t play videogames?

Today's show is about something that I am VERY passionate about-
Goal Achievement. I talk with Cam Adair, who has unlocked his
potential and career by helping people break their video-game
addiction. Full Disclosure here, as most of the audience for
this podcast are gamers... I am NOT saying that you shouldn't play
games and nor is Cam. The point is, videogames create tons of
stimulation for the brain- this stimulation could prevent you from
actually achieving some of the goals you have set for yourself in
life.
If you want to find out how to get more done and rack up some
Real Life points, this is a must listen to show.

August 12, 2015 TGC: 049 Siena Leslie- Community Manager from Habitica. A game that can change your life!
This is a super fun episode that I had with Siena Leslie, the
Community Manger of Habitica. I am a big fan of Gamification
Apps... Well, at least I'm a big fan of the IDEA of them.
I love the idea that games can help us achieve life goals.

Unfortunately, most of the gamification apps I have tried rely
on leader-boards and badges to reward me for stuff that I think is
a pain to do. Habitica separates itself from the crowd
because you actually PLAY A GAME with character leveling, gear,
special powers etc... The way you "power" your character, however,
is through real life actions. In this way you can play the game and
be productive at the same time (what I think gamification SHOULD
be). I now use Habitica for my daily project management for
the podcast as well as life goals :) I'm totally crushing
it!
This is a great episode that will both get you thinking about
how to be more effective in your life AND give you some direct
opportunities to do so. Check it out :)

invention. Kim Vandenbroucke is a professional game and toy
