Send us a textTrust is breaking on LinkedIn—and not just because the algorithm got stricter. Grant McGaugh sits down with Richard Vanderblom, the global authority on social selling and LinkedIn strategy, to unpack how AI-driven behaviors, automated outreach, and shifting relevance signals are reshaping what works and what backfires. If you've watched your reach drop or felt your DMs fill with spam, this conversation maps a smarter path forward.We dig into the metrics that actually matter—qualified DMs, right-fit invites, and conversions on low-commitment offers—and why “views” are a value metric when treated as a bridge to action. Richard explains LinkedIn's emerging “interest clusters,” how second and third-degree engagement now carries more weight, and why chasing viral content outside your niche sabotages your credibility. The guidance is clear: stay in your lane, focus 80% of your posts on your core expertise, and let relevance compound.Leaders get a practical content playbook that outperforms company pages: personal storytelling that shares real lessons, point-of-view thought leadership that leads, co-created posts with peers to unlock new networks, and video or live formats to build instant trust. We also test LinkedIn's Boost feature—what it's good for, where it falls short—and talk about responsible AI use that amplifies your voice without eroding authenticity. From credibility scoring to AI-pattern detection, the platform is rewarding the human layer more than ever.If you want to position your executive brand, grow a trusted network, and convert attention into meaningful outcomes, this episode gives you the strategy and the why behind it. Listen, take notes, and then refine your lane.

Ed and Reid sit down to discuss a range of topics, like: which videogame characters are getting into heaven, 007 First Light, Dumb Hannibal Lecter, Argentina, and James Bond's favourite foods.

First Light Ep. 16 — Kingdom Living In this episode, Chuck Halford wraps up the six responses that are often referred to as the six steps for living as a believer. He reminds us that these aren't just steps to follow, but natural responses to God that become evident in the life of every believer. Chuck encourages us to look for these moments in our everyday lives, to nurture them, and to let them grow as we trust in God and His promises. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." — Matthew 6:33 "As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him." — Colossians 2:6

Send us a textSeats aren't being offered? Let's build the table—and the toolkit to go with it. We sit down with consultant and AI Accelerator lead Angela Reed James to explore how Black entrepreneurs can turn AI into real capacity, sharper messaging, and faster growth without bloated budgets or big teams. From losing a corporate role to launching a mission-driven practice, Angela shares how AI became the missing staff: a strategist on demand, a project manager at midnight, and a copy chief that never gets tired.We get practical fast. Angela breaks down how to move from fear to ownership by treating AI like a brainstorming partner that organizes messy ideas into usable plans. We map the small-business workflow—from lead to fulfillment to reactivation—and highlight where automation saves hours without sacrificing the human touch. We talk brand voice, how to “train your dragon” so tools speak in your tone, and why AI should erase busywork, not your genius. Along the way we dig into bias in training data, why representation matters in prompts and datasets, and how creating culturally grounded examples improves outputs and conversions.This conversation is also a guide to buying smarter. Use AI to define scope, budget, and deliverables before you hire an expert so you don't get oversold. Translate operations into the language of finance to model ROI and cash flow with clarity. And if you've felt shut out of rooms where deals happen, consider AI your entry pass to consistent content, better proposals, and a stronger pipeline.

Send us a textA single Saturday in 1966 changed everything. When a young Ed Rahill paused lawn duty to hear the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the radio, endurance racing planted a seed that would grow into record-setting coast-to-coast drives, a fearless corporate career, and a blueprint for living with grit. We go beyond the spectacle to explore how planning, patience, and partnership carry you through the stretches no one posts on highlight reels.Ed maps the unlikely bridge between CFO and president roles and the “last great American road race,” weaving in a vivid history of endurance—from the Pony Express and thousand-mile cattle drives to the first cross-country auto challenge in 1904. The stories are cinematic: arrests in multiple states, an all-points bulletin, clandestine support from GM engineers, and the relentless math of speed, fuel, and fatigue. Yet the real takeaway is strategic: choose the right teammate, build redundancy, respect the road, and recover fast when everything breaks at once.At the heart of this conversation is a promise. Raised by women who sacrificed their dreams, Ed vowed to break that pattern and treat life as a relay. The baton metaphor runs through every chapter—start strong, absorb the hits, and hand off hard-won wisdom so the next runner goes farther. He shares the razor‑thin moment when a handshake with Blackstone saved his company and his team, reminding us that survival is often the doorway to impact. The message is simple and powerful: you have the right to try, the duty to prepare, and the calling to pass your gains forward.If stories of resilience, leadership under fire, and American car culture light you up, you'll find both adrenaline and guidance here. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a push, and leave a review telling us the toughest mile you've ever run—what baton are you carrying next?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Send us a textImagine if your computer could explore a landscape of possibilities all at once, using the same rules that make electrons behave in surprising ways. That's the mental pivot Farai, a quantum physicist and teacher, helps us make as we break down what quantum computing really is and where it actually wins. We trade hype for clarity, showing how superposition, entanglement, and interference become practical tools when classical methods hit walls.We walk through the real stakes: modeling complex materials to build safer batteries and corrosion-resistant coatings, accelerating drug discovery by simulating chemistry where properties emerge, and tackling massive optimization problems that govern airport gates, delivery routes, and supply chains. Farai explains why quantum machines are not replacements for CPUs or GPUs but new teammates in a hybrid stack, each part doing what it does best. The goal is targeted advantage, not universal speedups, and the payoff arrives when the search space explodes beyond classical reach.Along the way, we zoom out to nature as our design mentor. Bacteria that fix nitrogen more efficiently than factories, plants that capture sunlight better than our best solar cells, human brains that run powerful cognition on twenty watts—these examples aren't trivia; they are roadmaps for engineering. By learning from natural intelligence and combining it with quantum algorithms, we can cut energy waste, shorten R&D cycles, and unlock better outcomes across industry and public services. Farai also shares his work leading the Africa Quantum Consortium, proving that the next wave of innovation is global, collaborative, and grounded in education.If you care about the future of computing, climate tech, logistics, and medicine, this conversation will sharpen your lens. Listen, subscribe, and share with someone who still thinks quantum is just sci‑fi. Then tell us: which real-world problem would you optimize first?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

In this episode, Chuck Halford continues the series on escaping sin, focusing on one of the hardest steps for most of us — forgiveness. Whether it's forgiving others or learning to forgive ourselves, true peace can't begin until we let go of the weight we carry. Drawing from scripture and real-life experiences, Chuck reminds us that forgiveness isn't a feeling — it's obedience. "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." – Ephesians 4:32

Following last week's message on Humility, Chuck Halford continues his walk through the six steps to escaping sin — this time focusing on repentance. Building on the idea that humility opens the door to seeing our need for God, Chuck explains that repentance is what moves us through it. It's not just about feeling sorry, but about real change — turning away from sin and choosing to walk in obedience. With scripture and real-life perspective, Chuck reminds us that repentance is a gift that brings restoration, peace, and a renewed closeness with the Lord. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9

Send us a textBuyers choose the path of least resistance, and that truth can either fuel your growth or quietly stall it. We sit down with Vistage Chair and “No Hassle” advocate Jim Bramlett to break down a four-part framework that makes customers stop hesitating: convenience, price transparency, user experience, and trust. From Amazon and Netflix to Uber and Nebraska Furniture Mart, Jim shows how category leaders remove friction so thoroughly that buyers feel they have no excuse not to say yes.We dig into the Hassle Score and why benchmarking yourself against actual competitors—not your intentions—exposes the real gaps slowing revenue and referrals. Jim shares crisp examples of conscious trade offs between price, convenience, and experience, and then explores how to narrow those trade offs with smarter operating design and practical uses of AI to cut cycle time, clarify quotes, and elevate support without eroding trust. The conversation shifts to the leadership habits that sustain these gains: resilience when plans break, coaching as the core skill of influence, and the surprising power of peer advisory groups where 80 percent of issues center on people, not strategy.Expect a clear path to uncovering blind spots through better questions, building a culture where vulnerability invites help, and leading across generations with curiosity and clarity. If you're ready to simplify buying, earn repeat business, and turn word of mouth into a growth engine, this episode gives you the tools and the mindset to start now.If you found this useful, follow the show, share it with a teammate who owns the customer journey, and leave a quick review to help more leaders discover practical, no-hassle growth.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

In this episode, Chuck Halford continues the six-step path to escaping sin—following last week's focus on honesty—with a lesson on humility. He reminds us that humility is more than modesty; it's the doorway to repentance, forgiveness, obedience, and true kingdom living. Chuck explains how pride blinds us to God's grace, while humility opens our hearts to His correction and mercy. By laying down self-reliance, we make room for renewal and strength that only the Lord can provide. Key Verses: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” — James 4:10 “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” — Luke 14:11 “With the humble is wisdom.” — Proverbs 11:2 Real freedom begins when we stop trying to be in control and simply bow before God.

Send us a textWhat if your money felt calm, clear, and connected to a future you actually want? Grant sits down with Earl Johnson of Lexis Wealth Management to unpack the mindset, systems, and coaching that turn financial stress into durable wealth—and transform inheritance into a springboard, not a stumble.We start with the human side: the quiet shame many people carry about past choices and the simple shift that changes everything—separating lifestyle money from future money. Earl explains how trust and confidentiality built his brand in a competitive industry, why he rejects commission incentives, and how he guides clients with straight talk and empathy. From there, we zoom out to the “great wealth transfer,” an estimated $80 trillion moving from Boomers to the next generation, and why estate planning, trusts, and true succession are now non-negotiable for families and businesses that refuse to start over.You'll hear practical frameworks that stick: treat money like a game you plan to win, where passing GO isn't the goal—owning assets is. Earl connects long-term investing to everyday life by owning pieces of companies you already support, keeping emotions steady when markets swing, and using a coach to translate noise into action. We dig into budgeting without deprivation, the discipline behind the “millionaire next door,” and how a clear North Star turns habits into progress. We also explore the changing fintech landscape, the danger of tool-first thinking, and why applied knowledge beats hype every time.If you're a professional, student, entrepreneur, or parent who wants to protect what you've built and pass a heavy baton to the next runner, this conversation is your playbook.

The episode also dives into lessons learned from hosting high-impact industry events, the evolving role of AI in marketing, and how data-driven decisions shape business growth. Success comes from mastering one thing and committing to consistent, focused execution. Niching down to a specific market can dramatically accelerate business growth and recognition. Early morning routines and disciplined habits can fuel personal and professional transformation. Building trust through honesty and transparency creates long-term client relationships. Leadership is about vision, accountability, and empowering teams to execute at a high level. Tracking the right data points is critical for measuring marketing success and making smart decisions. Embracing new technologies like AI is essential to stay ahead in an evolving digital landscape.

In this episode of First Light, Chuck Halford introduces the six steps to escaping sin—beginning with honesty. He explains how true freedom starts when we're willing to be truthful with ourselves, with others, and with God. Honesty opens the door for the next steps: humility, repentance, forgiveness, obedience, and kingdom living. “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” — Proverbs 28:13

In this episode of First Light, host Chris Keller sits down with a visionary leader whose work is transforming the way businesses think about people, culture, and performance. Together, they explore what it truly means to lead with intention — from building high-performing teams to creating “culture by design.” Listeners will hear stories of trial and triumph, how surrounding yourself with the right community can accelerate growth, and why the balance between love and accountability defines lasting leadership.

The guest shares personal reflections on health, discipline, and consistency, and how these foundational habits ripple outward to impact every part of business and life. Seven Key Takeaways: True leadership balances caring deeply for your people while demanding high performance.Culture doesn't happen by accident — it must be intentionally designed and nurtured.Mastermind groups foster accountability, perspective, and accelerated personal and business growth.What gets measured — and made public — improves exponentially.Consistency and discipline are the bridges between motivation and long-term success.Investing time wisely in communities, events, and relationships creates exponential returns.Personal health and strong daily routines are the foundation for effective leadership and sustained energy.

In Episode 10 of the First Light Podcast, Chuck Halford takes on the topic of sobriety and the pull of addiction that so many face. He reminds listeners that temptation is always present and raises an important question: Should we keep sinning just because God's grace is always there? Chuck points to the truth that grace is not a license to remain in sin, but the strength God gives to overcome it and walk in freedom. Romans 6:1–2 “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”

In this episode of First Light, we dive into the journey of building and rebuilding a thriving law firm, facing both moments of triumph and near collapse. The conversation explores what it takes to go from working solo out of a home office to leading a firm of more than one hundred people, all while navigating the financial and emotional challenges of entrepreneurship. Key Takeaways Growth is rarely linear—setbacks can become pivotal turning points.Financial crunches are part of building a business; resilience and decisive action are critical.Efficiency and velocity in operations often determine whether a firm thrives or stalls.Core values and personal discipline serve as anchors in both business and life.Scaling back isn't failure—it can be the reset needed to regain momentum.Building a reputation and referral network takes time, trust, and consistency.True success comes from not just winning cases but also giving back to the community. Listeners will hear candid reflections on surviving financial crunches, scaling back in order to grow stronger, and how discipline, values, and perspective shape long-term success. From handling massive cases like BP's refinery explosion and the Deepwater Horizon spill to learning how to balance health, business, and family, this story is about grit, resilience, and reinvention.

Wrapping up, Edward and Corey share their thoughts on how Nintendo's leadership change could impact the company's future, how the Tokyo Game Show continues to shape the global gaming conversation, and why Switch 2's strengthening third-party support is setting the stage for an exciting new era.All this and more on Nintendo Pow Block!Follow our Hosts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Edward Varnell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Cofounder of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Boss Rush Network⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corey Dirrig⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, Founder of Boss Rush Media and the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Boss Rush Network⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Boss Rush Community: Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Boss Rush Network Community Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Boss Rush Network: Follow Boss Rush Network on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support Boss Rush Network:Support Boss Rush on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and buy merch on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Store.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Boss Rush on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and visit our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website at BossRush.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more great content.Thank you for your Support!Thank you for watching or listening to Nintendo Pow Block, the Nintendo podcast from Boss Rush Network!

In this episode of First Light, Chuck Halford shares a heartfelt story from his life as a veterinarian, focusing on one unforgettable dog named Fighter. Born still and against all odds pulling through, Fighter lived up to her name in every way. She became a constant source of joy at the shop—greeting customers, lifting spirits, and shining light into every situation. More than just a loyal companion, Fighter was a living reminder of God's grace and His presence in our daily lives. Lamentations 3:22–23 – “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

The latest GameBurst podcast is here with a deep dive into the biggest stories from the world of video games. This episode covers the latest reveals from the Tokyo Game Show and the recent Sony State of Play event. Get the scoop on the newly revealed  Marvel's Wolverine gameplay and its 2026 release window, plus confirmation that Forza Horizon 6 will be set in Japan. The show also features a look at the remastered cyberpunk classic  Deus Ex and the surprise addition of Bruce Lee to Hitman: World of Assassination. Other highlights include new details about the single-player campaign for Battlefield 6 and the casting of Gemma Chan in the upcoming 007: First Light game. The hosts also share their "Pick of the Week," with Jerome highlighting the games Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist and Hollowknight: Silksong, as well as the video "Beast Wars Is Shakespeare: The Value of Garbage Media".    

In Episode 8 of First Light, Chuck Halford shares his story of unwavering faith and how God has been a steady presence throughout his life—from childhood to today. Raised with a deep love for the Lord, Chuck reflects on how his walk with God shaped him from a young age and gave him strength and direction as he grew. He also shares how that same faith sustains him through life's hardest moments. In the aftermath of tragedy, Chuck has witnessed how God moves among His people—drawing hearts together, grounding them in Scripture, and bringing healing through His Word. These moments serve as powerful reminders that even in pain and loss, the Lord is working, redeeming, and revealing His unshakable love. Chuck's story is a testimony that God is not only present in the joy and the peace—but also in the grief, the questions, and the aftermath. His faith proves what Scripture tells us: God never leaves His people. He is always there.

Send us a textLeadership today faces a crisis of trust and engagement. A staggering 70% of employees feel disconnected from their organization's mission, while only 24% trust their leaders—meaning three out of four employees have lost faith in leadership. With 63% of current leaders reporting burnout and likely to leave their positions within two years, we're witnessing unprecedented leadership instability.My new book, "First Light: The Brave Path to Authentic Leadership," addresses this crisis through the BRAVE Blueprint Strategy—a framework designed to transform how we approach leadership in today's digital world. BRAVE stands for Beliefs, Results, Audience, Value, and Edge—essential components that form both mirror and guide for leadership transformation.Your beliefs illuminate the path when vision fails, serving as the foundation for every decision. Results challenge you to own outcomes and measure meaningful transformation rather than just activity. Understanding your audience helps align your voice with those you're uniquely positioned to serve. Value articulation clarifies the specific transformation you create, while your Edge—often found in vulnerabilities or challenges—makes you memorable and distinctive as a leader.This journey requires confronting your doubts directly rather than running from them, transforming fear into growth. Leadership isn't about avoiding challenges but converting them into wisdom and strength. The world hungers for authentic leaders who demonstrate genuine conviction rather than convenient positioning, vulnerability alongside strength, and the courage to stand for something meaningful.Organizations led authentically outperform their competitors by three times in employee engagement and twice in customer loyalty. True leadership extends beyond financial metrics to enriching the human experience. The question isn't whether you can lead—it's whether you'll be brave enough to lead authentically.Join me on this transformative journey. "First Light" will be available this September through 5StarBDM.com and Amazon. Beyond the book, I'll be hosting a free masterclass where we can navigate this leadership journey together. Because the world doesn't need more leaders with titles—it needs more leaders with light.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand! We hope you enjoyed learning about the latest marketing trends and strategies in Personal Branding, Business and Career Development, Financial Empowerment, Technology Innovation, and Executive Presence.

Pat, Zach, Rick, and Chance get together to discuss their impressions of Hollow Knight: Silksong and Borderlands 4, the PlayStation State of Play focusing on 007: First Light, and the Super Mario 40th Anniversary Nintendo Direct.

In this powerful episode, Chuck Halford dives into the feeling of being stuck — in life, in faith, or in circumstances beyond our control. He unpacks how difficult and disorienting these seasons can be, but reminds us that through the Lord's wisdom and guidance, we don't have to stay there. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2, Chuck challenges us to reject the patterns of this world and renew our minds through biblical thinking — because true transformation doesn't come from culture, but from Christ. When life feels stuck, God is still at work. As Psalm 40:2 says, “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” Tune in and be encouraged to lean on the Lord, renew your mind, and keep moving forward in faith.

While Ghost of Yotei has gone gold and is now right around the corner, other segments of PlayStation Studios are on far less sturdy ground. Fairgames (or Fairgame$, if you like marketing) is seemingly the latest victim of an unprecedented run of bad decision-making, execution, and leadership within Sony's first party, as the upcoming shooter has shed its director, often (though not always) a dire sign for any project. Taken with recent reports (from this very show) of poor internal playtesting -- all the while Haven has already shed its major front-facing face and co-founder Jade Raymond -- we simply have to wonder whether Fairgames will ever launch at all. And if it does, does it have any potential to succeed whatsoever? Other news this week includes the rumored reemergence of Insomniac's Wolverine project, downward-revised SSD space for upcoming PS5 consoles, a fresh look at the promising Uncharted-like IO title 007: First Light, and much more. Then: Listener inquiries! Does Naughty Dog actually represent the pinnacle of game dev? How much can people twist themselves into a knot to justify piracy? What kind of pressure are studios and publishers under to adopt AI solutions? Will "Alleghany Hogs" catch on around the world?

In this episode of First Light, Chuck Halford reflects on the importance of paying attention—not just in the small details of life, but in the most important relationship we have: our walk with the Lord. He shares how being present and attentive can shape our faith, our decisions, and the way we live each day. Drawing from Scripture, Chuck reminds us to “set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2), and to “pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and still more will be added to you” (Mark 4:24). This episode calls us to slow down, tune in, and pay attention to the One who is always present and guiding us.

Today in news that we wish we never knew about: Xbox's reboot of Perfect Dark was nearly saved! Their dance partner? Take Two Interactive who serves as publisher of Rockstar. Yes, indeed, a recent report states that these two were working out a deal similar to Xbox selling off Tango Gameworks alongside the Hi Fi Rush IP to Krafton in order to help the company. Unfortunately, a falling out between both sides occurred over an IP ownership dispute. Now, Perfect Dark is doomed to sit in "IP Jail" with many of Xbox's other abandoned properties. At least Banjo has some company now.

Cardy, Matt, and Dale are here to talk about some sneaky boys. 007 First Light is the new James Bond game, and we've got plenty of thoughts about how it's looking. Then there's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater; a remake of a great game, but is it the one we wanted? And then there's Bloober Team's latest survival horror Cronos: The New Dawn which sounds mostly miserable, but still fun.  Remember to send us your thoughts about all the new games, TV shows, and films you're enjoying or looking forward to: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.
