In this video, Richard C. Wilson, founder of Family Office Club, presents episode 4 of the Due Diligence mini-series, tailored for private investors, investment managers, and CEOs. He discusses the importance of due diligence questionnaires and provides insights into vetting CEOs and investment professionals. The episode covers essential tools such as master due diligence questionnaires and brainstorming lists of 100 different areas for due diligence.

I'm joined by Adam Davis and Adam Johns, the founders of the non-profit organization Game to Grow and creators of Critical Core. We discuss how their game, Critical Core, is created for intentional play and helps people on the Autism spectrum improve social interactions through gaming. We dive into their amazing work with Children's Hospitals and how virtual tabletop roleplaying has been instrumental in helping more children around the globe.

Today, we're talking to Dr. Elizabeth Kilmer. Dr. Kilmer is a licensed clinical psychologist and the director of education and training at Game to Grow.  In this outstanding interview Elizabeth shares a brief exploration of the ways Dungeons and Dragons supports social growth, and then for the bulk of the interview we examine the SPARK model from Game to Grow's Critical Core program, and how parents can use this guide for good game mastering to improve their parenting.  I recognize that this interview might seem a bit niche and geeky.  But I promise, even if you have zero interest in Dungeons and Dragons, you'll find it the information useful.  Throughout, we're essentially looking at the similarities and metaphorical interconnections between being and game master and being a parent and leader.  Besides, it's been a few years since I last did a D&D episode.  Guest Links: Learn more about Dr. Elizabeth Kilmer at https://gametogrow.org/about/staff/elizabethkilmer/ Learn more about Game to Grow at https://gametogrow.org Learn more about Critical Core at https://gametogrow.org/essentials/ Use the code "essentials" for a 10% discount!

This week Austin plays Demon's Souls on the PS5. This is one of two console exclusives that came out at launch. It's from Bluepoint Games and is the remake of the original from From Software. How does it hold up in the modern-day? We also talk about our return to Star Wars: Battlefront 2. In the news, Kevin Hart will play Roland in the new Borderlands film, Bleeding Edge development shuts down and  a group in Reddit literally sends Gamestop stock to the moon. Our discussion today is a special one. We invite Adam Davis from Game to Grow back onto the podcast to talk about what they've been up to with their incredible mission for using games in therapeutic ways and help them overcome social anxiety and much more.  It's a fantastic cause and they even have a tabletop RPG called Critical Core coming soon! From their website:"Game to Grow is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the use of games of all kinds for therapeutic, educational, and community growth.  Our therapeutic social skills groups help youth and adults become more confident, creative, and socially capable through the intentional facilitation of customized, collaborative gaming experiences. We're most well known for our use of tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, though we use many different games in our therapeutic social skills groups. Many of the kids, teens, and adults in our groups struggle with social confidence and building community. Our groups help build social competence, reduce isolation, and form friendships that last. Though a diagnosis isn't required, commonly supported populations include autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and more. We also provide training, consultation, and support to other therapeutic and gaming professionals, educators, parents, and advocates, so that even more individuals can benefit from the life-enriching power of games."You can learn more about Adam Davis and the mission of Game to Grow at their website.Check out video clips of our news every week over on YouTube.Show Notes:2:36 - Demon's Souls19:52 - Star Wars Battlefront II33:52 - Borderlands, Bleeding Edge and Gamestop Impacting Reddit1:03:26 - Game to Grow with Adam Davis2:10:54 - Upcoming Video Game ReleasesBecome a part of the conversation!

HIJACK is the Minneapolis-based choreographic collaboration of Kristin Van Loon and Arwen Wilder. HIJACK is the confluence and clash of two independent compositional/kinesthetic impulses. Their dances embrace juxtaposition. Their dances house unlikely intimates and question “who is the enemy?” Specializing in the inappropriate, HIJACK is best known for "short-shorts:" pop song-length miniatures designed to deliver a sharp shock.Over the last 25 years they have created over 100 dances and performed in venues ranging from proscenium to barely-legal. HIJACK manipulates context by employing a site-specific approach to every performance and toying with audiences' expectations. HIJACK has performed in New York (at DTW, PS122, HERE ArtCenter, Catch/Movement Research Festival, La Mama, Dixon Place, Chocolate Factory), Japan, Russia, Central America, Ottawa, Chicago, Colorado, New Orleans, Seattle, Philadelphia, San Francisco, at Fuse Box Festival in Austin Texas, and Bates Dance Festival in Maine and Seattle Festival of Dance Improvisation. HIJACK questions where and for whom contemporary dance is performed, gigging regularly in both social settings and concert settings.  HIJACK has enjoyed long relationships with Red Eye Collaborations (as part of their Critical Core), Bryant Lake Bowl Theater where their 1996 "Take Me To Cuba" was the theater’s first ever dance concert), Zenon Dance School (where they have taught every Wednesday morning for 18 years), and Walker Art Center where they have performed in every imaginable context including the opening of the McGuire Theater, at Dyke Night, First Free Saturday children’s programming, in the sculpture garden, and in the light of the Benson Film Collection in the Mediateque. In 2013, Walker Art Center commissioned “redundant, ready, reading, radish, Red Eye” to celebrate twenty years of HIJACK and Contact Quarterly published the chapbook “Passing for Dance: A HIJACK Reader”.Their 2018-20 projects include: performing End Plays with Lisa Nelson, curating and hosting Future Interstates (a series of dance improvisation performances initiated by HIJACK and Body Cartography in 2015), creation and premiere of Jealousy (a collaboration with sculptor Ryan Fontaine and lighting designer Heidi Eckwall at Hair + Nails Gallery), touring an evening of dance with films to micro-cinemas and managing & dancing in the 2019 McKnight International Choreography residency of Galia Eibenshutz at Cedar Cultural Center.

In this episode, Adam shares his passion for bringing role-playing games, most notably Dungeons & Dragons into a therapeutic space. Dungeons and Dragons is not a video game, but it's an in-person collaborative role-playing story game of chance (Adam's definition!)  Adam's work does not focus on discreetly teaching social skills, but focuses on developing those skills in a motivating, engaging, and natural environment where feedback can be easily integrated.  At Game to Grow, Adam's team supports other therapists, educators, and community members with learning how to integrate this model into a variety of settings and helping future game masters developing "SPARK"- spontaneity, playfulness, attunement, restraint, and knowledge. Check out Game to Grow to learn more!

This episode the guys cover what they have been playing, building and buying as usual, then inspired by the Critical Core game they discuss rituals in RPGs.  Not “cast a spell” rituals, but those things you do (or should be doing) before, during and after each session.  In “Play it or Slay it” they review […]

Tabletop gaming brings people together and can support personal journeys of growth and discovery. On this episode, I spoke with Adam Johns and Adam Davis, also known in the mental health & game space simply as “The Adams,” about their journey creating Game to Grow - a non-profit dedicated to using games of all kinds for therapeutic, educational, and community growth.

In this episode Michelle is joined by her mentor, colleague, and “Brother by a Different Mother”, Paul Tardy, OTR/L, of “PT the OT Therapy and Wellness”. Have you ever seen an OT palm a child like a basketball, or bounce them in varying directions on a ball like a wobble head, or seen the kiddo crawling across the floor and observe and OT roll a therapy ball…crash boom bang…right into them and subtlety, or maybe not so subtlety wonder “What in the world are they doing to that kid?!?”. Well, wonder no more! This episode is all about Therapeutic Handling! Paul takes time to explain in detail why handling a pediatric patient in a certain way can reignite, or maybe ignite for the first time, neural connections that encourage the development of a strong core, proper physical alignment, encourage sensory regulation, all of which set a child up for success with life…and for PO intake! Come prepared for the passionate powerhouse that is Paul Tardy OTR/L!

This episode identifies the critical role of core beliefs in our lives and how they affect our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This is Step 9 in the 12 Steps for Recovery from Adversity, Trauma, and Abuse.

In this episode we try to survive the Tomb of Horrors in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. We’re joined by Dustin and London, Linsae’s brother and sister-in-law as Quinten DM’s us through the tomb. The party dives deeper into some never before seen areas of the tomb. This episode is sponsored by Critical Core
