What does winning look like? It’s when your nine-year-old son would rather take a walk with you than watch a comedy. He’s excited to build a business together. He soaks up what I teach him like a sponge. And we make amazing memories nightly!

My son and I have started a game studio. We’re three days into our first game! We’re not developers. We have imaginations, and AI. We’re vibe coding the whole thing! One thing I’ve discovered is this: It’s easier to get the agent to do what you want when you break up big tasks into small ones!

When I was a kid, I loved video games. I can still remember the day my dad brought home the Atari 2600! These days I don’t game much. Self-care, family, and career come first. But my kids love to game! I want to bond with my kids over games! So, this is what we’ve decided to do:

This is Prisma. She’s a character in a series I’m writing. Prisma is a leader in the Netherworld Resistance, a hacker and stealth operative who thrives on chaos and destruction. This clip includes some of my favorite text-to-video results!

This is Prisma. She’s the brains and the chaos behind Cyladin’s Netherworld resistance. She pushes him to take decisive action that’s often beyond where his moral compass allows. These are some of my best visuals of her. And I’ve got a video that will follow this soon!

Them: “Dad, can we watch a show?” Me: “No.” Them: “What can we do?” Me: “Figure it out. Include your sister.” Five minutes later they’re teaching her a board game way below their age level, having a ball!

The 80s were special! We were free-range kids. We played outside until the street lights came on. Everyone’s front door was open. And yeah, we learned lessons by getting hurt! (That’s me in “The Vineyard” half shirt!)

Resilience is not just for times of struggle. Comfort presents as much risk to your success. Rest too much and you risk your growth! Take a moment to enjoy the moment. Then, keep going!

It was a sharp pain in my shoulder. My wife told me not to push it. My body told me to lay off. But I did it anyway - 45 minutes of total body strength training. Ain’t no audience. No accolades. It’s between you and you.
