Just wanted to share 2 stories of two young men I know. 1. Evan’s best friend: Was a near-pro BMX biker. Started gaming all the time. Now he doesn’t BMX as much and will not go pro. Graduating with college debt. Searching for a job now. 2. My younger brother: Was a big gamer (Halo, Xbox etc.). Visited us in Thailand and got inspired in 2016. Started an Amazon selling business on the side of his job. 2-years later, he's making $100k a year of passive income from his Amazon store. Has the freedom to work on his own schedule. Can travel as much as he pleases. Does not need a job. Just some food for thought. Now while gaming IS one of the fastest-growing industries, let's face it, most gamers will not go pro or make $$$ from playing it themselves. BUT, there IS $$$ to be made AROUND gaming -- so perhaps spend some of that gaming energy putting your entrepreneurial cap on and think about how you can take advantage of this exploding market -- e.g. creating services or products or apps that will help gamers solve problems (because very few of us are entertaining/charismatic enough to be popular streamers. But if that's you -- yes! Making $$ from streaming is also a business & building a brand & audience so that's fine). Gaming business ideas: start a gaming accessories drop-shipping store, start a gaming product review site (Amazon affiliate links), start an app that helps you find gaming meetups in your city, start an app/blog that teaches you quick stretches and/or workouts specifically for gamers, start an app/blog that teaches gamers how to cook healthy food, start a dating for gamers app? start a print on demand business on Amazon Merch for gaming T-shirts hmm!

Ski Dubai! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some shredding in at the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai .. the SECOND biggest mall in Dubai .. the biggest is Mall of Dubai at the Burj Khalifa tower, world's tallest building, but that's coming next :) It's about 50USD for 2 hours of skiing or snowboarding. If you have a layover in Dubai I'd say it's definitely doable! We were able to get ready and go up and down 2 times in one hour total. Part 3 comin soon! Edited By Michael Pieper, give him a follow!
