I also talk about my preferred learning process by which I quickly figured out how to use Notion for my creative work and for my coaching endeavors.

I also share how a couple of life-style changes allow me to play more video games while helping my health efforts at the same time, and how a new strategy might solve my problem of not having enough time to watch the Star Wars, fantasy and anime series that I use as the basis for my YouTube and TikTok channels.

The Break: Daisy Ridley's Return to Star Wars; Atlas, Transformers One and Twisters

This weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of my cosplaying friends again at Haarzuilens Castle during the Elfia Fantasy Festival. I vividly remember my first visit to this festival and how out of place I felt as a priest among thousands of people dressed in fantasy costumes. But I kept coming back year after year, and made lots of friends that shared so much of their lives with me.
I talk about it in this episode of The Break, and I also discuss X-Men 97, the Fallout TV show and recent developments in the Vatican. In the premium version of the show for my patrons, I talk about intermittent fasting, Spanish Tortilla, the theology of Diablo IV and more.
