Boss Fight!

LEVEL 1-8. BOSS RUSH: My Personal Boss Fights

While this is normally a team effort, for this one I’m going solo. As we wrap up season one of Boss Fight, I wanted to give listeners a chance to get to know the man behind the podcast. I’m going to answer the same questions we ask our guests, as well as a special take on our boss fight segment.

LEVEL 1-7. How Games Teach Us the Importance of Routine

When we’re all living in an extended quarantine and coping with high levels of stress, video games can be a welcome reprieve from the real world. But when part of your escape becomes surrounded by toxicity, how do you cope? Joshua Lago joins me to talk about finding your place in a community that enjoys talking about games without being swept up in the negativity of it all. We also discuss some of the inherent issues of viewing video games as art, what that means for the community, and how some games find different ways to balance on that spectrum. Power Up: * Having a healthy pattern and routine can make all the difference during challenging times.

LEVEL 1-6. Depression is a Raid Boss

Even the most positive forces you know can be dealing with the shadows of depression and self-doubt. Ryan Robinson is one of those people who you’d be surprised to learn the depths of where he’s been or what he’s had to deal with. Constantly a source of joy and support for others, it took forming his own party of support to tackle the raid boss of depression when he just couldn’t handle it on his own. Power Up: * Everyone is capable of overcoming their boss fight. If there comes a point where you’re not capable, make sure there’s someone in your life who can pick up the slack until you are.

LEVEL 1-5. Nice Things & Hard Times

When things are hard, it can be nice to find a silver lining. But it’s important that we don’t let that lining obscure or deny the very real feelings we have. Over the past year we’ve experienced one of the worst collective events in history. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say we’re all dealing with trauma from this to different extents. Leslie is having a hard time letting go of the guilt that comes with feeling bad when you know other people have it harder than you. Power Up: * If there’s something you can do in a span of two minutes or less, just do it. We can always find two minutes, and even if it doesn’t seem like a lot, the feeling of doing something can snowball.

LEVEL 1-4. Marina Martinez-Bateman VS Starting a Business During a Pandemic

Starting a new business is always a large undertaking. Starting one during a pandemic? Talk about turning up the difficulty level! When Marina started their business, they had taken every precaution – they had startup money, a generous runway of savings, and clients lined up. Short of a global pandemic, things should have been good, but some boss fights come when we least expect them – and they hit us in ways we couldn’t have anticipated. Power Up: * The Martinez Method: Look at when you need to be done with a task, then cut that time in half. Spend half of the time relaxing and refreshing, and the rest of the time doing your work.
