The Boonafide Experience

I cover the question: As a recovered opiate addict, have you ever encouraged, given advice, or helped out anyone that has reached out to you through your stream/presence in the gaming community? How do you try and use your platform to inspire other people to overcome the same struggles you have experienced?

In this episode, we cover what got me into esports, and how the process has impacted & shaped me.

These 2 simple words can have such a deep meaning with our daily decisions. I go down the rabbit hole of how this has positively impacted my day to day life and how it can help you as well. 

On a high level discuss the differences between the real drug addict/alcoholic and the heavy user/drinker. We bounce around between a few other topics surrounding this as well as some of my personal experience before & after I got sober. 

This covers my childhood work ethic up to this point, and what's been holding me back from really sharing my story & how you could be doing the same thing.

It’s about the behavior around the substance. Whether it’s pot, or heroin, the result is the same. 

I do a brief overview of what Twitch, the culture of content creation, and why people support the creators in the space. 

I set a commitment out to myself that I would make 7 podcasts in a row, 1 a day. Honestly pretty freakin proud of myself. Hopefully this helps you to get honest with yourself on how you use your time!

Momentum is constant, if you’re not moving forward, you’re moving backwards. 

Don’t get down on yourself if you think your motives are too selfish. They most likely are, but the good news is that you CAN & WILL evolve, if you want too. 

Gaming can be fun and intoxicating, don’t let it take over your life. Do something with it. 

I dive deep into Halo from the beginning, my experience with it, and why it’s relevant today and will be a dominant force in 2020

I cover a few valuable lessons that were presented to me this year, and provide a few helpful tips on how to be present for the holdays.

After 27 years, it finally clicked, and it can for you, too.

You’re unique, and so is your story. Don’t be afraid to share it. If you don’t, someone who needs to hear it won’t get the chance too. 

Ever wonder how people are able to provide constant value? I did as well until this hit me. We keep providing extra value to the people who follow us by not only conquering our fears but sharing it with the world.
