I had the honor of interviewing Adib Abedini and he was awesome enough to share his experience quitting Battlefield with me. He's a funny guy and it was really fun chatting with him. At one point he said selling his computer was like losing a family member. Very powerful! I hope you enjoy it! If you would like to be on my next podcast, let me know, I'd love to hear your story!
For gamers who have dedicated their life to their digital worlds, life can feel very daunting when the time has come for them to really begin a productive life in the real world. Life lacks the structure and rule that is present in games so it's not always obvious what one should do first but I think it's always best to start by being excited at the prospect of creating a new life and in today's episode, I'll share with you why you should be excited to quit your gaming.
We value what we enjoy and we protect what we value. Ever try to take a controller away from a gamer? You better get backup. But if your trying to quit gaming, how can you find something that will provide you with the same value that you got from your gaming? The answer my friend lies within you!
Today I interviewed Jeff Hoffman who is a recovered video game addict and today he is a certified high performance coach. We discuss his past, what worked and what didn't work to help him break from his addiction and we talk about the industry as it stands today with the next generation looming on the horizons and how this will contribute to the growing epidemic that is video game addiction.
Today's episode is about discovering a real world future that's so compelling that suddenly your digital distractions like video games and social media lose any relevance to your life. You become excited to go to bed and wake up early because you now live a life that's exciting and worth living. A life that the digital worlds can no longer compete with!
Without an action plan, what does inspiration give you? Where do you go? In today's episode I talk about how having the mindset of action over inspiration will help you find happiness chasing your dreams and that happiness is not dependent on acquiring your dream, but acknowledging that you at least have a plan to acquire it.
In this first episode, I share a bit of my story so that you can understand how I became addicted to video games and how I believe I was able to quit the addiction.
