While a lot of people have previously known me for gaming related topics… I’d like to start cultivating questions and a community of people who want to learn more about personal finance.

What are some questions or financial barriers that are impacting your day to day life?
I personally don’t feel like AI will take over jobs for millennials and early Gen Z.

But I do really fear the “train our replacements” is absolutely going to impact the next generation in the same way we look at how Boomers built our currently fucked economy.

This was an incredible article that speaks to the evolving world that surrounds video game linear media.

My career lives and breathes by this artform, but it’s important to understand the the need for profitability and how it translates into game sales.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I just want to take a moment a geek out over the fact that I get to work on narrative cutscenes for @warcraft.bsky.social!

This was never my “dream job”, but now I can’t think of anything more perfect.

Thank you to all the players, who have given me this opportunity.

Officially finished the first draft of the script/outline for my upcoming personal finance Masterclass. I’m so excited to put this idea into the world!

If you’re open to talking about it… what are some personal pain points in YOUR life that left you struggling with your own finances?

I’m over here watching for sales on the Rodecaster Video Pro 2 and @akamikeb.com is like “Hold my beer!”
Gear inventory for #synthsky in the alt text. Does it count as GAS if you only buy budget/used gear?

So many people become absolutely lost with “finance bro” speak. But it happens because once you understand something, it’s difficult to remember life before understanding that thing.

I want to fix this! I want to make a safe, fun, and entertaining place to talk & learn the ropes of personal finance
