Some families have movie nights. Others have board game nights. In our house? Gaming is just part of who we are. It’s how we bond, how we have fun, and occasionally how we figure out which one of us has the biggest ego (spoiler: it’s always one of the kids). Some links may be affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. But these are products we use or would totally geek out
Trying to “balance” business, family, gaming, content creation, marriage, real estate, and your own mental health is basically like trying to win a ranked match while making lunch, answering a text, finding a missing shoe, and explaining to a child why pants are, in fact, required when the neighbors are outside. A very specific example… …Definitely not based on real events. People love talking about “balance” like it’s some magical destination where you wake up, drink your coffee in peace,
Some games are just phases. You play them, enjoy them, and move on. But some? Some games are permanent; they’re part of your life, tied to memories, good times, and even business moves (Check out How Gaming Helped Me Grow as a Person and Entrepreneur). This list isn’t just “best games ever”, it’s the games that stuck. The ones I’ll always go back to, no matter what. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission at
When I started ChannlerG, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what it would become. A gaming website Maybe some tournaments Maybe some esports content Maybe some business content mixed in The truth? I had no clue. After doing this for over a year, I think that’s normal. Most things worth building don’t look the same at the beginning as they do a year later. ChannlerG is a perfect example. What ChannlerG Actually Became At its core, ChannlerG
A year ago, I thought I had a pretty good idea of how this would work. Write blogs. Make videos. Stream games. Work hard. Traffic shows up. Money follows. Simple. Turns out… not exactly. If there’s one thing ChannlerG has taught me, it’s that building something online takes way longer than you think, costs more mental energy than you expect, and somehow becomes part of your identity before you even realize it. And while I wouldn’t trade it. I definitely
If I had to sum up the ChannlerG site in one sentence, it would be this: A website dedicated to helping people turn their hobbies into money-making opportunities by sharing my real-time successes and failures, all while creating a community that helps each other learn and build along the way. No fake Guru nonsense. No, “I made a million dollars overnight” clickbait. Just me, my fiancé, our family, and whoever else wants to join the ride. This isn’t just about
I’ve always been the kind of person who dives way too deep into the things I love. Whether it’s gaming, business, new software, or finding the perfect chicken wing recipe-if I’m into something, I’m all in. But until recently, I never really combined everything into one big vision. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. But you know me, I only recommend tools and gear I use or trust.
Fair question. Because depending on when you found me, ChannlerG probably looks like one of the following: Gaming page Blog Guy yelling at video games at weird hours Some random mix of business, family, gaming, and self-inflicted chaos Man with too many tabs open Not entirely wrong. But it’s also not the full picture. ChannlerG started because I knew one thing: I wanted to build something of my own. Not because traditional jobs are evil. Not because entrepreneurship is glamorous.
If you don’t use it. Start. This isn’t a blog to teach you about how to work with ChatGPT or different prompts you can use to help better your workflow. I use to use ChatGPT every day (especially When I Was First Building ChannlerG), usually I keep the same conversation going with it so it can remember my style and brand and voice. So today, I decided to ask, “After all this, the conversing, the site, the real estate, the
If you’ve been following along, you already know ChannlerG isn’t just a blog, it’s a business, a community, and a place to build something real. But now that the foundation is set, what’s next? This post is a roadmap of what’s coming. The topics I’ll be covering, what I’m building behind the scenes, and how I’m going to turn all of this into something sustainable. If you’re here for gaming, business, real estate, self-improvement, or just want to follow the
