Using Video Games as a Networking Tool (And Why It Works)

I didn’t set out to use video games as a networking strategy. I like playing games. And over time, I noticed something most people ignore: some of the best business conversations I’ve had didn’t start in a meeting, an email thread, or a LinkedIn DM. They started mid-game, with a headset on, talking about nothing important at all. That’s the part people miss. Heads up!

How Gaming Helped Me Grow as a Person & Entrepreneur

If you had told me years ago that gaming would teach me some of my biggest life and business lessons, I probably would have laughed and gone back to grinding another Camo in Call of Duty.

Because let’s be real, out of all my friends, I’m the worst

10 Games I’ll Never Stop Playing (And Why They Matter to Me)

The Parenting Side of Gaming: What Changed When I Had Kids

Before I had kids, gaming was simple. I played what I wanted, when I wanted, for as long as I wanted. If I wanted to spend an entire Saturday chasing a camo grind in Call of Duty or exploring some massive RPG world, nobody cared. Then I became a parent. And suddenly, gaming looked completely different. Not because I stopped loving games. Because I started seeing them through a different lens. Now I’m not just thinking about what I’m playing.

I Turned My Wife Into a Gamer (Now She’s Carrying Us in Fortnite)

A few years ago, if you told me Katie would have her own PlayStation 5, voluntarily spend her free time gaming, and occasionally carry our Fortnite squad, I would’ve laughed. Not because she hated gaming. She just wasn’t a gamer. That was my thing. Now? It’s become one of ours. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
