        Lots of stuff! Life is amazing. I've started lifting recently and hit a PB at the gym today. I'm also pretty excited about a resilience building game I'm making for kids with cystic fibrosis. E3's also about to pop off, so I'm gonna learn what I'm playing this year.

        Yeah, E3 looks super exciting. First one I've been excited for in a while. It's still just an early prototype, but the game is called "Puppy Island". You get to play with a small group of puppies. I've taken a lot of lessons from superbetter and a bunch of motivation theories.

        I'll try to keep you updated as it develops! I figure games for resilience would float your boat. What cool and exciting things are happening in your world? Any personal bests on the horizon? :)

        We were at last years BCX Disrupt summit and you got us thinking about some important things when it comes to gaming and life balance.

        Indeed us Aussies are here. Question - what’s the best new writing about games you’ve read this year? Anything stand out as fresh and exciting?

        That does look interesting! Do you listen to any games podcasts that go beyond the “what’s new this week” formula? Or any other culture podcasts you recommend?

        That will be fun! I haven’t been since it opened. Hopefully you’ll be back for business at some point. Saw you speak at Activision when I worked there years ago. Loved what you had to say. Super interesting!

        I just got home from an epic day, flew to regional Victoria to present 4 workshops to parents on @diginutrition then back again. An old mate was randomly in the seat behind me on way back so got a great chat in/avoided work.
