Possibly turning green with envy, it's the all new Geek at Arms! In a Geek Out which is aimed primarily at making James jealous, Mike kicks it off with a mouthwatering description of the the Sword Tacos he had on vacation. He continues with his recent gaming experience on the City On A Hill Gaming podcast with a Mike Perna gm'd session of Numenera! He and James then share their thoughts on the recent Netflix animated series Masters of The Universe: Revelation. James explains how revisiting The Witcher novels by Andrzej Sapkowski led to him reading ALL of them in a matter of weeks. He also attempts to inspire some jealousy with an account of his family's recent trip to NASA. Next Bryan gives us some details on the new series he's worked on, Y: The Last Man. He also makes James a bit envious with the news of an upcoming Monster of The Week campaign he'll be joining. Finally, the guys head into a discussion of Redemption Stories: what they mean to us as Christians, what they mean to the culture at large, and examples found in popular media.

Check out a teaser from Mike Perna and Jeff Romo for an upcoming recording we are doing! Ya boy is stoked for this one!

Chris and Cathi talk about the Covid-19 Delta variant trends. Gretchen Arvanitopoulos, VP at CORD (Cape Organization for rights of the Disabled), Mike Perna and Jeff Tomaneng of AMR join Chris to talk about financial planning for people with disabilities. CORD helps connect people with disabilities to available resources. They discuss the following and more: It is important to utilize a financial planner and lawyer who have experience in this field and can help navigate the process. Reach out early to understand the benefits that are available to younger children. Plan for guardianship well before the disabled child turns 18 years of age. Think about a plan to care for the disabled child when you cannot; consider a special needs trust. Realize that care needs may change in the future and a personal care attendant may be in order so consider cashflow and investment needs. Use a reputable/monitored rep payee if needed to manage bill payment and money needs. Life insurance may be of benefit in covering costs once parental caregiver is deceased.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Tristan Ahumada speaks with Mike Perna about all things expansion and the opportunity to maintain culture while creating the freedom to succeed at the highest potential. If you are considering creating a team, expanding into multiple markets, or as a single agent want to hear about the proven structure and behaviors that generate success, you will not want to miss this episode. Episode Highlights:  Mike Perna has had a team since 2000 that focuses on the Detroit area. He has over 700 reviews on Zillow. His number one challenge in hiring was the culture disconnect. His number one hiring source is Craigslist. Past clients help him find agents as well.  Right now it takes him 48 resumes to get to one hire. The first thing he looks at is the grammar on their resume. Job hoppers are a huge red flag to him. He generally calls twenty people for one position, will have three come in, and make one hire. Mike uses Gary Keller's six personal perspectives during his phone interviews. He looks for applicants that speak positively of their former employers. He has them sit through a team meeting. He asks them how much they want to make and explains how many properties they'll have to close. Agents go through a 90-day training program. On Day 1 they dump contacts and they're dialing through their contacts multiple times. Three out of four agents usually remain after that and then they become  rockstars. Next he trains them on open houses and then lead ponds and pre-set ISA appointments. Mike describes the structure of his team. They discuss working remotely vs. coming into the office. Mike describes how he goes about offering leads to his agents. Getting tight on his hiring has made the biggest difference in the growth of his business. It's the B and C players that need the systems because they need structure. You're forcing your A players out. Tristan and Mike lament A players they lost. The Perna Team will sustain consistent growth by hiring the right people and not forcing the growth. He makes three calls five days per week. They are half the size that they used to be but they're doing more deals. His team has a call day once a month. They also try to have a fun outing together monthly to maintain connection. One of the biggest struggles he had was getting the right leads to the right agents. Be particular about who you hire all around. 3 Key Points:   Be very particular about who you hire as you expand your team.   Provide your prospective agents with clear expectations from the outset.   Be willing to say no 49 times to get the right yes.  Resources Mentioned: LCA Marketing Center: LCAmarketingcenter.com Lab Coat Agents: LabCoatAgents.com Mike Perna website, LinkedIn   Mindset by Carol Dweck (book) Contacts to Excel (app) MyOutDesk Good to Great (book) Firepoint  Connect with Lab Coat Agents: Lab Coat Agents on Facebook Lab Coat Agents on Twitter Lab Coat Agents on Instagram Lab Coat Agents Facebook Group

#Every33!Mike Perna of Innroads Ministries, Game Store Prophets, and Bard and Bible joins us as he does every 33 episodes to talk about something he's been itching to talk on the mics about for ages - unlikely heroes with a strong emphasis on Mike Mignola's Hellboy. We also give a shout-out to The Dungeon Pastors, a new project from two other friends of the show, Derek "The Geekpreacher" White and Stephen Taylor of Games for All. That's immediately followed by one of the strangest questions's we've had from a Patreon backer in a long time when John and Ginny Swann ask us " What is your favorite sandwich and how would you play it as a character?" The episode is almost worth it for that conversation alone, folks. Once we wrap that surprisingly thoughtful and in-depth section up, name a favorite sandwich of Jenny's "The Goblin Warlock" and read our scripture, we move into our main topic: unlikely heroes and why Hellboy is such a compelling example of one, and how you can use him and other characters like him in your games. As is always the case, having Mike on gives us a lot of both quality and quantity.Scripture: Exodus 4: 10-12, 1 Samuel 16:1-12, Matthew 9:9

Next, Bryan describes what it's like fighting rancors in Star Wars: Vader Immortal - Episode II on the Oculus Rift, and his upcoming D&D session with members of Saving the Game. James talks about how different Skyrim looks and feels now that he's begun downloading various mods for it and how impressed he was by the Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Our Mike then details his love/hate relationship with the platforming game Hollow Knight and we all chime in with our enjoyment of the delightful animated series Hilda. Finally, James debuts a new segment on the show, Pop Quiz!

Mike Perna has a honest discussion about God, gaming, and groups on this week's episode of 'The Dismantle."

As foretold, once every thirty-three episodes Mike Perna of Innroads Ministries, Game Store Prophets, and Bard and Bible joins us—this time, to talk about board games! Mike takes a moment to plug TavernCon 2018 (June 9th in Warren, NJ.) We also give a bit of a shout-out (belated by the time this episode drops) to the Min/Max Podcast for hitting the one-year mark. Then we take on a question from Patreon backer "Retro Rewind Podcast" (another good podcast you should check out) about our favorite foods and the trouble we'd go to in order to eat them. Once all that's done, we read our Scripture and start talking about board games. We focus specifically on board games close to our roleplaying focus—games with heavy story elements, or games in which there's a procedurally-generated story to enjoy—but we do roam around a bit and talk about a lot of games, so make sure to check the links below if you're interested in any of those! Board games mentioned in this episode: Overlight, Gloomhaven, Once Upon A Time (3rd Edition), T.I.M.E. Stories, Alien Artifact, Twilight Imperium, Through The Ages, Barker's Row, Meeple Circus, Fog of Love, ...and then we held hands, Star Crossed, The Grizzled, Freedom: The Underground Railroad, Arranged!, This War of Mine, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Above and Below, Near and Far, The Quiet Year, Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game, Android: Netrunner, Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn. (Phew!) Scripture: Proverbs 11:1-3, Philippians 2:3-4, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

(Fixed audio.) This episode's conversation about mass combat—a topic selected by our Patreon supporters—turned out to be so big, we're following this one up with another episode on a related topic next time! Before that, though, we've got a lot of other things to discuss: The holidays, and especially all the games we played and picked up over the Christmas break. We talk a bit more about our Patreon and the need to change things somewhat as we move forward into 2018 (leave your comments on that below.) We also send our congratulations and prayers to Mike Perna and his family as they welcome their son into the world; and we send our condolences to the family and friends of Pat Roper, longtime Fear the Boot host, who passed away just after Christmas. Our Patreon question this week comes from Paige, who asks "Is there a game/campaign/thing you wish you could run, but you don't feel skilled enough to do it?" The answer: Oh my yes. All that having finally been taken care of, we do eventually get to our main topic: Making interesting mass combat scenarios as part of your ongoing roleplaying game campaign. Scripture: Exodus 17:8-13, Joshua 6:1-5, Ephesians 6:10-17

Chris welcomes one of his High School classmates, writer & author, Alison O'Leary to the show!  She shares with the listeners the history & research involved in writing her novel "So Close to Home".  She also shares details of her latest writing, Inns and Adventures. In the second hour, Mike Perna from our AMR Dedham office joins Chris with his wife Marcia.  They were featured in a recent New York Times article(July 7 ,2017 by Ron Lieber).  Mike Burton calls in with the Slade Mortage Minute! Listen in for a great show!

Join Daniel on The Solo Expansion. A new short-format series of the podcast. This series will concentrate on single hosts, giving them a chance to talk about their current gaming topics of interest. In this episode Daniel talks about the stigma of playing board games solo and suggests some games that you can try out for yourself. Please enjoy!

Chris is joined by his AMR associate, Michael Perna from our Dedham office, in the co-host seat this week. They talk about the markets and outlook for 2017. Mike Burton is here with the Slade Mortgage Minute and the Cape and Islands Red Cross is our charitable spotlight this week. Hilary Greene is here to talk about all of the ways the Red Cross benefits the community.

Mike Perna of Innroads Ministries joins us at the appointed hour, to give our listeners some real, practical advice on running small gaming events for your church or community! First, though, we talk about a few other things, in no particular order: Our upcoming fundraiser for The Bodhana Group (keep an eye on our social media feeds for links to that!); the Game to Grow panel we hosted on spirituality in roleplaying games; players taking notes during games; the InSpectres game Grant just wrapped up; and Big Fandom Greenville (more on this next episode.) We also tackle a great question from Patreon backer Doug, who asks "What, if anything, do you think is simply off-limits for a game? Is the answer different if we're talking you personally, or for gaming in general?" (This turned out to be surprisingly relevant to our main topic!) Also mentioned in this episode: A Game for Good Christians, STG 17, "Lines and Veils". Scripture: Proverbs 16:3, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Luke 14:28

Mike Perna of InnRoads Ministries joins Jonathan and Sarah to nominate the Star Wars Rebellion board game for The 25 along with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and 'Schitt's Creek'.

Kyle Rudge of Geekdom House joins Grant and Peter to talk about a host of small, interesting, and interrelated topics! Geekdom House has a Kickstarter wrapping up for their lovely "Area of Effect" print magazine, which we completely neglected to plug until the very end of the show. Kyle's not just here for that, though—he brought lots of fascinating things to talk about, like: Creating a geeky, mission-forward small group in his church; introducing that group to Dungeons & Dragons; his appearance on the "Faith and Gaming" panel at GenCon 2015 (which Mike Perna recorded and released over at Game Store Prophets); a Firefly-themed Bible study; taking a men's choir to Winnipeg's Central Canada Comic Con; the tight-knit communities of fandom; Done the Impossible and The Guild; and characters who reflect ourselves. Plus, a quick plug for our Hearthstone listener tournament—let us know if you're interested! Scripture: Ezekiel 11:19-20, 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12

Mike Perna of Innroads Ministries and Game Store Prophets joins us to talk about a complex problem in both faith communities and geek communities: Gatekeeping. Mike's joined us before for Episode 33 ("Our Origin Stories"), and he was a perfect fit for this topic in many ways. He previously wrote an excellent article on gatekeeping, and has a lot of wisdom and experience to share with us.  We hit on a lot of small details—'controllers' vs. 'facilitators'; gatekeeping in church and in geek culture; comments on "pastoral customs" by Pope Francis; and others—but our focus is on solving the problem when you encounter it, not just documenting it. It's a rather thoughtful episode, so enjoy, and tell us what you think in the comments! Scripture: Ezekiel 16:49-50, 1 Corinthians 12:21-27, 1 Peter 3:8

It's only Grant and Peter this episode, as we head into the final pair in our Virtues & Vices series! First, we talk about our ongoing (and quickly wrapping up) fundraiser for The Bodhana Group, and give Innroads Ministries some much-deserved plugs as well. Then we explore what C.S. Lewis called "the complete anti-God state of mind"—Pride. Some theological and practical definitions of pride get discussed before we explore pride as a character trait, and its manifestation at the gaming table. Also mentioned in this episode: Episode 33 of Saving the Game, "Our Origin Stories (with Mike Perna)"; Peter's Evil Overlord Guide. Scripture: Jeremiah 9:23-24, Matthew 23:8-12,

Peter and Branden will be holding down the next couple of episodes—Grant's got some medical issues and can't podcast for a while. But we've got extra STG-related content to make up for it! Peter was on Episode 2 of the Crossover Nexus roundtable podcast (as was Mike Perna of Game Store Prophets), so give that a listen too. We also have a new logo, courtesy of Ruben at 3d6 Design; it looks awesome, so thanks very much, Ruben! After that news (and a little bit more), we get down to business: Talking about oaths and vows in games. We define oaths, vows and pledges; discuss the dangers of vows; and then explore the gaming and roleplaying opportunities such promises provide us as GMs and players. Scripture: Numbers 30:2; Judges 11:30-32, 34-35; Matthew 5:33-37

Gamestore Prophets is a podcast about God and gaming, and Ben sat down with one half of the GSP team, Mike Perna, to talk about why they podcast, what it is that makes Mike so passionate about gaming, how God has used their podcast, and what “Team Gamestore Prophets” is …
