When my boss dropped the unexpected bombshell of wanting to guest on our podcast to discuss the representation of women and minorities in tech, it sparked an eye-opening dialogue about the tightrope walk of personal branding versus professional image. It's a candid journey through the stories and complexities of intertwining our personal passions with our day jobs. We ponder whether this meshing can unlock doors for authentic connections or if it risks unraveling the carefully woven fabric of our work personas. Plus, we navigate the tricky terrain of social media policies, considering how they shape our online personas while juggling the need to stay genuine to who we are.
The plot thickens as we share tales of personal interests like gaming acting as a catalyst for forging friendships beyond the confines of the professional sphere. I open up about a heartwarming transition from customer interactions to a personal bond over shared hobbies, highlighting the unanticipated warmth gaming can bring into our work relationships. We also chuckle over the quirks of online gaming personas and mull over the significance of curating an online presence that honors the crossroads of our professional and personal lives. Join us for a straightforward glimpse into the delights and challenges entwined in the art of harmonizing our work and personal spheres, all while keeping our virtual and real-world identities in sync.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
