People Who Reclaimed Health After Major Setbacks - Mindset & Growth

🎙️ Introducing The Built Different Podcast It's time to put myself out there. Many of you know me as an athlete, but what many don't know is that after getting married 26 years ago, I slowly lost control of my health. Over the years, I gained a significant amount of weight, experienced numerous hospital stays, and received repeated warnings from doctors about the path I was on. In 2020, I made a decision that changed my life. I decided to take my life back. What started as a journey to lose weight quickly became something much bigger. As my body transformed, so did my mindset. I began to develop confidence, discipline, and a perspective on life that I had never experienced before. The transformation wasn't just physical. It strengthened my mind, improved my outlook, and helped me become a better version of myself. That is why I'm launching The Built Different Podcast. This is not a weight loss podcast. This is a podcast about growth, encouragement, accountability, mindset, discipline, overcoming obstacles, and becoming the person you were created to be. Most importantly, this podcast is for you. My goal is to share real conversations, real stories, and real lessons that inspire you to take ownership of your life and continue growing alongside me. Because the truth is, I'm still growing too. The podcast will be pre-recorded and available on my YouTube channel. I'll also be bringing on guests from all walks of life to share their experiences, challenges, and successes. If you'd like to be a guest on the show, I'd love to hear from you. As this journey begins, I need your help. Please subscribe, share the channel, and help us grow this community. Every person who listens, shares, comments, or supports the mission plays a role in making this something bigger than just a podcast. In the coming months, I'll also be sharing content through a new community I'm building called The Hype Train. The goal is simple: create a place where people encourage one another, celebrate wins, push through challenges, and grow together. 👉 Join The Hype Train Community: Join The Hype Train:https://lnkd.in/ekEWfEWm 🎙️ Check out the official teaser for The Built Different Podcast: Watch the Teaser Video:https://lnkd.in/eh4SJws7 Thank you for being part of this journey.

PNW Game Artists & Developers - Halo Studios Layoffs Reaction

Resets, Revolutions, and Recalibrations: What's Next for the Video Game Industry? Yes, 2026, has been challenging for the games industry. In MBA-speak, it's been a mofo. The tectonic shifts have been felt globally...yet, they're so often concentrated here in the PNW. The internet and LinkedIn exploded this week with announcements about the Halo Studios layoffs. More "resets." Surprisingly, mainstream media generated little press. However, as usual, I'm more interested in microjournalism. The stories of change and managing the liminal spaces of what's next...written by artists and employees within the video game industry. What can we do? Fight. Personally, I've never hit my "weekly limits" for connecting and commenting on LinkedIn more than in 2026. All of those comments about jobs, "commenting for reach," and support hashtags (#OpenToWork). It's like running low on mana. Or ammo. Pick your metaphor. The bitter irony of "Commenting for Reach" isn't lost on me. Gaming language makes sense in these epic times. Game companies are shifting priorities, wrestling with AI, and attempting to adapt to a fragmented market with limitless options for gaming consumers. Almost any game...on any platform...anytime. This vicious battle for dollars and eyeballs is real. Are we repeating the crash of 1983? What about unionization? Is the industry's biggest clash an East vs. West mentality (à la Japanese developers staying leaner)? Or is the industry overly conflicted between AAA titles vs. lower-budget indie projects? Either way...layoffs hit hard. Sometimes, especially so when it's juggernauts: Microsoft, Bungie, Id, Halo Studios. Some experts say the video game industry is "recalibrating. But it's not going away. The industry, like gamers, knows better. Out of credits? So what. Out of quarters? Meh. Low on HP? Never give up. Don't forget that the video games industry has recovered before. And remember when video games beat Hollywood in revenue? That was a holy sh\*t moment for video games. Sorry, I meant "inflection point." So, as a gamer, I'll step it up. I've updated the video game job links database on my site. No paywalls. No signups. No subscriptions. No fees. No BS. Just direct links to jobs. Video Game Careers Database: https://www.olympicresume.com/video-game-industry There are so many great places to look across the industry. If it were me, I might shoot for Nintendo (I still have my original Legend of Zelda gold cartridge. And Hyrule map). Maybe Obsidian (We all know Fallout: New Vegas is still the best in the series). Perhaps Duolingo (500+ day streak and I'm loving the Brawl Stars collab). Or ZA/UM...I've literally gifted their masterpiece Disco Elysium. Regardless, I'm hopeful the industry isn't crashing like the early 80s. An industry full of creative talent that beat Hollywood still has a bright future. We humans cherish our myths, our legends...and our games. To be continued. \\\* P.S. In addition to the handful noted above, I included many other gaming firms in my database: 2K, Activision, ArenaNet, Bethesda, Blizzard, Bungie, CD Projekt Red, EA, Epic Games, Gearbox, Hard Rock Digital, Hi-Rez, Id, KRAFTON, Larian, Microsoft, Mojang, Naughty Dog, Netflix, NVIDIA, Pokémon, Riot, Roblox, Scopely, Supercell, Take-Two, Valve, and ZeniMax. Kind of my “dirty 30,” if you will. P.P.S. I've had the pleasure of working with several folks from the video game industry. However, I'd love to hear from even more industry veterans about these shifts. Ping me to discuss your story. \\\* Artwork: John Davidsson (Gemini Nano Pro x Canva). \\\* Extra Credit: Former Halo Devs React To Mass Layoffs And The Activision Takeover / Kotaku https://kotaku.com/former-halo-devs-react-to-mass-layoffs-and-the-activision-takeover-absolutely-brutal-to-see-that-studio-reduced-to-a-shell-2000736737 Japanese companies like Nintendo, Capcom, and Konami are healthier.... / GamesRadar https://www.gamesradar.com/games/japanese-companies-like-nintendo-capcom-and-konami-are-healthier-because-they-have-smaller-teams-dont-have-frequent-layoffs-and-dont-pay-executives-usd30-million-says-expert/ Microsoft's Xbox Reset https://medium.com/@davidsson/microsofts-xbox-reset-09c94accac19 The Console Wars Are…Over? https://medium.com/@davidsson/the-console-wars-are-over-d0762a94d17b \\\* \#VideoGames #Careers #CareerCoaching #Jobs #OpenToWork #PNW #VideoGameIndustry #Halo #HaloStudios #Microsoft #Layoffs

Senior Living Leaders - AI Adoption in Senior Housing

Great conversation with Jessie Lucci and Lucas McCurdy Senior Living Fan 📣 on The Signal podcast's first episode! Lucas approached me with an idea he had been marinating on... a podcast where the discussion would focus on technology in our industry. AI conversations are happening everywhere, but there wasn't much focused on our senior housing. I was hesitant at first, because I don't really view myself as an AI expert. I am curious about it, I want to leverage it in my personal life and business, and I have enjoyed learning about it and experimenting with it. I'm approaching this podcast with the goal of learning in public and sharing my experiences. I want to speak with people who are experimenting, testing, and building with AI and learn from them - with you. AI is prominent in the technology of daily living for most of the planet. ChatGPT and Google's Gemini each have 1B+ MAUs and Meta has engrained AI into its products which are used by 1/4 of the planet. NIC MAP ran a survey recently where respondents confirmed that AI is heavily used at work. 86% of respondents use it for work and 79% of them use it daily. This technology is moving fast. Let's learn how to use it together.
