I know we're all exhausted from talking about tariffs, but anyway, here's my response to the current situation and its impact on the tabletop gaming industry, with a side of decision-making advice.
Good luck out there.

New blog post out now!
This time I'm recapping my time at GAMA Expo 2025 and getting into some of the reasons why attending your industry trade shows is worth it.

That’s some good wisdom.
Pretending everything is normal is the surest way to make sure nothing goes back to normal ever again. It’s like fighting a fire by pretending there is no fire, while the house burns down.
Forgot how much I miss being at GAMA Expo with all the other amazing people in the game industry
No shot I’m financing eggs, what insane timeline have we fumbled ourselves into 🫠
I was featured on the TrustBuilt Podcast to talk about trust and innovation in business. It would mean a lot to me if you’d take a look 🙏

Monday me is the most over-ambitious version of me 😅
So freaking cool!
Oh nice, Monday is usually easier for me anyway. I’ll keep an eye out for the next one!
Sounds like fun! Can’t make it today but hopefully you run more of these
Click bait-y title, but still good to know.

A really interesting read on the value of philosophy in real-world discussions on AI and the pitfalls of believing in intangible ideas as a form of savior to our problems.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!
🤣 I hate how much I love this
The velocity on that truck is actually ridiculously satisfying. Such a cool portfolio
One of the coolest portfolio’s I’ve ever gotten to play?!
Using old cards with good art is the way

Finally an appropriately cold, fall day in Colorado. Just in time to get into the Halloween spirit
Inventory management can be chaos, but I’m starting to think that’s not so bad
Check out this post on alternate strategies to card sorting, inventory for game stores, and how to try chaotic warehousing
Huge thanks to the guys at CardCastle for the opportunity 🙏
