TCW Podcast Episode 221 - North to Hellgate London In a pseudo part three of our look at Condor and Blizzard North, we explore the troubles the company faced after a year and a half of crunch. David, Max, and Eric were all burned out along with the rest of the staff. David was going through a divorce and had trouble putting his heart into figuring out what the next game would be. Due to lack of leadership and a proper chain of command, many employees felt frustrated switching games over and over. At the same time, the expansion, Lord of Destruction, was completed after a year of development with no crunch. Through a combination of bad corporate structure, not empowering middle management, factionalism, and troubles with Blizzard's corporate owners being bought and sold amid their own scandals, David, Eric, Max, and Bill Roper from Blizzard South went on to form Flagship Studios and work on Hellgate: London. Unfortunately, the game was not well received due to expectations exceeding the financial and technical hurdles that needed to be overcome. There is a lot more to this story, so prepare yourself as we leave one hell for another!

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Eric Gros-Dubois discuss:Eric's motivations for starting his law firm (and what held him back from taking the first step).Surround yourself with those who are better than you.Working to the highest and best use of your time.Creatively hiring to suit your law firm's needs. Key Takeaways:You can delegate a task, but you cannot delegate the responsibility. As a manager or a leader, you cannot pass the blame if something goes wrong.Believe you are successful, and act like it, even if you aren't there yet. You will be putting yourself in a position to be successful, not a position of failure.Effective marketing and networking is more financially beneficial to your law firm than if you were billing hours. You can hire and delegate the work to another associate, but nobody knows your firm better than you.

One of the biggest challenges many CEOs and startup founders face is effectively communicating their company's vision to their employees. It can be difficult to help everyone understand where the company is headed and how it can contribute to its success. However, by helping employees connect with their inner selves and bridge the gap between self-awareness and social awareness, leaders can leverage the strengths of their team members and prepare them to speak to the company's vision. This means communicating effectively, helping people understand and embody the company's message, and building their skills to support its goals. You don't need to be perfect, but by giving a clear impression and showing your credibility, trust, and respect in your communication, you can effectively lead your team toward success.Join the conversation with Chuck Garcia as he shares more about Internal communication, emotional Intelligence, the foundations of good communication, and how to leverage the people that work with you to get ahead. Chuck is a former Wall Streeter turned into an executive coach, motivational speaker, and Colombia University professor. He is also the founder of Climb Leadership's executive coaching practice, which focuses on professional development in communication, leadership development, and emotional intelligence.

In this episode, Cheryl and Ashlee Stratton discuss: Pursuing dreams without waiting for your kids to grow up Overcoming health challenges and finding healing through mental resilience and support Finding a fun outlet unattached to goals and outcomes The power of habit stacking and celebrating progress in pursuing goals and hobbies Key Takeaways: Don't wait for the perfect time to pursue your goals and dreams as a mom; start with small steps now, even in the midst of motherhood, and enlist the support of your spouse to make it happen. To achieve your dreams, prioritize what matters to you and seek assistance when needed. Even without a supportive spouse, scheduling and asking for help are vital. When setbacks arise, focus on your desired emotions and surround yourself with supportive individuals for healing and growth. Ashlee loves pickleball because it's a great way to take a break from goal-oriented activities and enjoy a fulfilling, fun, and physically beneficial experience filled with laughter. Habit stacking is a powerful technique for implementing new habits with minimal effort. By attaching a new habit to an existing one, you can achieve success even with limited time. In addition, celebrating progress, no matter how small, is essential to staying motivated and recognizing how far you've come. “Start taking action and then when the hard times come, just be gentle with yourself, work through them, and then get right back to it. Just remember to keep putting one foot in front of the other even through the hard times. Those baby steps count.” — Ashlee Stratton Resources Mentioned: Rock Steady: Healing Vertigo or Tinnitus with Neuroplasticity by Joey Remenyi: https://www.amazon.com/Rock-Steady-Healing-Tinnitus-Neuroplasticity/dp/1989603858 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R.
