As Founder & CEO of Oceanhouse Media, a leading publisher of mobile apps that uplift, educate and inspire, Michel has developed apps that millions of people have downloaded. Oceanhouse Media has released over 600 apps in its first 10 years. In 2013, the company was ranked #114 on the Inc 500 Fastest-Growing Private Companies list. Michel is a “digital tinkerer” at heart and is known for developing apps that drive personal and professional performance. Some of his more notable creations are “CommitTo3”, Michel's personal daily coaching app “Mindset for Success,” and the recently released “Marshall Goldsmith Coaching” app. In early 2018, Michel founded his 4th company, Extality, which focuses on high-end, enterprise solutions using VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and MR (mixed reality). The company has delivered groundbreaking work for Magic Leap (a leading AR/MR hardware vendor) and CNN/Turner where they developed CNN's first AR solution for network news delivery in mixed reality. Michel found prior success with Presto Studios, a videogame development company that he co-founded and ran for 11 years. Presto Studios had numerous hits including “The Journeyman Project” series, “Myst 3: Exile” and many more. His first company, MOOV design, was founded in 1989 where he developed innovative interactive multimedia projects many years before these new technologies were mainstream. One stand-out project from the time was Verbum Interactive (the world's first interactive, multimedia magazine). Michel is extremely active in Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) where he currently serves as the Regional Chair for the US West Regional Council after many years of local chapter service. He has completed the 3-year EO Entrepreneurial Masters Program at MIT and EO's Global Leadership Academy in Washington D.C. As someone who has strived for and found success in work, personal and family life, Michel has decided that it is time to give back. He remains an active learner as his efforts are now transitioning to writing, coaching, teaching and lecturing. mk@omapp.com | www.MichelKripalani.com (760) 715-5790 | Twitter @MKripalani | Intragram @michelkripalani | LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelkripalani/

Legacy is what you will leave behind when you do." ~Michel Kripalani Habits2Goals is proud to present a conversation with the insightful leader, coach, and entrepreneur extraordinaire Michel Kripalani A peripatetic upbringing with an engineer father exposed Kripalani to numerous life experiences, fueling a fascination with and empathy for people and their varied life experiences. At first a pre-med student at UCSD, Kripalani found himself called to visual arts; this path led to his first startup soon after graduation, moov Design, a firm ahead of its time that coded the first-ever multimedia magazine.   Fueled by a desire to build a game, his next venture, Presto Studios, created the Journeyman Project in 1993—the world's first photorealistic adventure game. JP defied all expectations, selling more than 100,000 copies.  A desire to enter the burgeoning app economy fueled Kripalani's next venture: Oceanhouse Media, which became a leading developer and publisher of apps for the mobile market that secured licensing relationships with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Hay House, Random House, and more. His latest business, Extality, is again at the cutting edge, billing itself as an "Extended Reality development company."

Kusoge aficionado Heidi Kemps (Gaming.moe) joins us this week to talk about her shaky introduction to video games; a one-two punch of having too much empathy for Frogger, and the assumption that the most interesting games were "for boys only." After this belief was challenged by a bizarre Super C commercial, Heidi embarked on a lifelong journey that eventually found her in possession of the only Fighting Vipers 2 cabinet in America.Also, we talk the vagueness of Phantasy Star II, the inscrutable Presto Studios-developed Gundam FMV game, GIRLZ BUTTZ, Sega loyalty, Raimais' plethora of secrets and the general wonders of Taito, Seiken Densetsu 3, the effortless rebellion of Jet Set Radio, and how multifaceted enjoyment of the medium can make research more enjoyable than play. Be sure to read her deep dive into quiz cabinets.Follow Heidi on Twitter @zerochan, Twitch devilrei, YouTube devilREIchan, Be sure to check out her friends on Twitch RetroPals and LordBBH for more obscure weirdness.Intro Music "Summer Vacation in Scanline" by NurvussOutro Music "トワイライトでHEART-BEAT" by パフェ♥カフェｐａｒｆａｉｔ♥ｃａｆｅ

Since 2000, he has worked on such high budget animated features as Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars 2 & 3, WALL-E, Brave, Inside Out and many more.  After graduating from the University of California, Irvine, Victor began working as a 3D artist at Presto Studios, a video game company. He continued to study 3D character animation in his spare time. In 1999, Victor's first animated short Alien Song, which was a result of some animation and lip sync tests, went viral. When it caught the attention of Edwin Catmull, the President of Pixar Animation Studios, Victor was invited for an interview. He joined the company in 2000. For his work on WALL-E, Victor has won an award from the Visual Effects Society.

Originally Broadcast 2013/03/29: A more recent example is Majora's Mask on 3DS. Did we even talk about it in this podcast? Listen to find out! Even in the 8-bit days, the theme of time travel in video games was all around us. For some, it was a story excuse to visit historical landmarks and offer. Other explored idea of what it meant to manipulate tiem Usually, they were some poorly-designed movie tie-in. But each one offered an unmentioned promise that someday, somewhen, the ultimate time travel game would arise. Now, if only someone would invent actual time travel and send that game back to us in time for this episode! Vinnk and Sean discuss their favorite (and sometimes not-so-favorite) time travel games, what they did right, what they could have done better, and spend probably too much time gushing about Presto Studio's The Journeyman Project and bolstering the merits of the 1996 Doctor Who movie on Fox starring Paul McGann. But, mostly, it's about games. And we somehow forgot to mention Shadow of Destiny... (Don't worry; we'll try to cover that in the show notes.)
