Three years ago this week, a mere 15 minutes before my 42nd birthday, we became homeless. Our car was packed up, storage locker packed to the ceiling & we spent 2 months as nomads crashing at friends places in PA NY MA NH then NB NS PEI QC ON BC before we got settled.
Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive.

Some really great ones here. I've been transparent with quite a few of our mistakes in my podcast @G3RealTalk. Being underfunded and inexperienced lead to challenges. We had great people and we had awful people. I wish I know then what I know know. Hire slowly, fire quickly.

Are you practicing compassionate gratitude? I'm getting back into the habit of recording daily gratitude and it's been a nice way to unwind each day. I make a plan for a healthy reminder to do so, but I also give myself permission to forget or skip it. It's okay.

Jean here, wishing you all a love and compassion-filled year ahead. Wishing you space to grieve, reflect, and heal from hurts and space to thrive and blossom once again. Season 2 is a bit delayed but some great stuff ahead, so we can all grow together!💜
Wishing you a wonderful, safe, thoughtful, kind, compassionate holiday season. I'm grateful for our listeners, for our wonderful producer Roger, and for the opportunity to share our journey so far. Much love and gratitude to you all. 💜💜 ~ Jean
Has it really been that long since our last episode? 2022 has season 2 in the works. :)

😍 Thank you!
Taking a small hiatus until October. Jean & is moving across Canada to Vancouver in 3 weeks and moving house is a huge undertaking! New episodes in October. What would you like to hear Jean & Roger chat about?
I've heard that episode 8 on dealing with challenges and grief at work is a very helpful episode, as well as episode 10 on Imposter Syndrome. I hope you find them helpful as well. You can find the podcast at G3RealTalk.com 💗 or at your fave podcast platforms.

Our inexperience lead to delays in achieving our bigger vision. I talk about this in @G3RealTalk season 1. From technology to people challenges, it's all there. We got back on our feet with a loan from a generous stranger. Then paused the company while Blair taught for a year.

@JeanLeggett I just finished listening to all the podcast episodes and I'd like to thank you and Roger for bringing up such important topics and being vulnerable with us. There really are gold nuggets in every ep. and your great chemistry together made me laugh more than once ❤
Season two comes out in May. If you're looking for a podcast in games that explores the evolution of personal growth inside learning about starting up your own studio, you'll appreciate season one. It's real talk, no secrets here.
Hey hey! What a season it was! We covered the startup journey of @1MoreStoryGames, discovering who you are as a founder and studio, spotting good and umm not good folks, dealing with struggles and crises, celebrating your wins. Not bad for Season 1! #G3RealTalk
Q2 will see Season 2 of @G3RealTalk launched with my cohost @elhector, planning for career storytelling retreats in Vancouver and Los Angeles, revamp of my website, & so much more. It's an ambitious year but I know that if I want to reach more people, I have to stretch! Excited!
@JeanLeggett @G3RealTalk @elhector Excited!!
Recap what the crew at @PureNintendo reviewed this past month. I may have a few reviews in that list :)
Pure Nintendo - Review Recap - February, 2022 - purenintendo.com/pure-nintendo-… #Reviews #PureNintendo #Indie #Metacritic
I'm really pumped by how the episodes for Season 2 are shaping up. Between @elhector & I, we have 28+ years XP in games, and 20+ years in coaching! It's gonna be so goooooooooooood!
Season 2 is about how we 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝗽, 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝗽, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝗽 as people, community, & industry. Introducing our amazing guest host for S2 - @elhector. Hector is a leadership coach, has been making games for 20+ years, & is a Tech People Manager at IO Interactive.
Hello new folks. Here's a thread to get to know me better. In a nutshell, I thrive on ideas, compassion, and connection. Games is an incredible medium. If you're looking for a podcast that's about Games, Grit, & Gratitude, you can find that at @G3RealTalk. S2 coming in April!
Hi lovely people! Here's a thread sharing some of the work I do as a game developer with a focus on edtech. I'm based out of Oakville, ON, a suburb of Toronto, and lead a small indie studio called @1MoreStoryGames with my husband @blair_leggett (joined at the hip since 1996).
Thursdays are my business growth day. I don't plan client calls on Thursdays because it's a strategy & execution day. On tap: discussing S2 content of @G3RealTalk with @elhector, wrapping up FY21 accounting, curriculum development for some exciting projects, & email catchup! 🌟
Leveled up! Reached lvl 45 today!
Thank you! @G3RealTalk is a life coaching meets game dev startup journey podcast. It's inspiring, honest, and insightful (or so I've been told by our listeners).
Coming in late again, here's my #CultureConsumption for September, with all the books, movies, games, and podcasts I enjoyed. andreablythe.com/2021/10/14/cul… Podcasts I particularly enjoyed include @WritingExcuses @G3RealTalk @ImaginWorldsPod @BookRiot
“Next in Line” by Gail Newman (@SWWIMmiami) — swwimmiami.substack.com/p/next-in-line… “A woman sleeping in the burned-grass patch of lawn in front of my parents’ house, beside the Bird of Paradise’s beaked flames, a flicker of dream-sleep under shut-lid eyes.“
“Now I am My Father” by @maggiesmithpoet (@berfrois) — berfrois.com/2018/02/now-fa… “Who needs spendy, top-shelf light when the sun costs us nothing? No one meters it streaming in.”
Stories and poems I enjoyed include: “You Can Stay All Day” by Mira Grant (aka @seananmcguire) at @PseudoPod_org — pseudopod.org/2020/07/17/pse… “Cassandra was pretty sure it wasn’t the music that was attracting the bodies thronging in the zoo’s front plaza. It was the motion.”

@G3RealTalk I've enjoyed all the episodes so far and I can't wait to see what comes next. One thing that might be interesting to cover are what are the essential roles that are needed for a game dev company and where do the lines between those roles blur.
