798. Christmas 3, Reflection, Blades & Reapers

Recorded on: Thursday, December 25th, 2025

Episode Summary by AI
I reflect on Christmas traditions ending and beginning, my first real Christmas without my mom and now with Lexi. I talk about learning early that nothing lasts forever and how that shaped my outlook on good and bad phases. I describe family games I created, observing people more than playing, and finding meaning in shared moments. I connect this mindset to building my app, pushing discipline, designing blades blitzes and reapers, and choosing perspective intentionally.
