Season Two's Done — Here's What Stuck With Me

Twenty episodes down, and before season three kicks off I wanted to properly reflect on this one — not just recap it.

Highlights from how the season came together:

Leaned hard into talking with people I didn't know well — harder to prep for, even more alive to record
A clear pattern emerged: most guests didn't plan their way into games, they backed into it — a factory floor, a VFX career, a mistaken belief that you had to code to belong, etc.
Empathy turned out to be the quiet thread through almost every conversation, whether it was about players, teammates, or the person a tool was built for
Production got fast — one episode went from record to published in about ninety minutes — though a scheduling hiccup with no backup plan was a real lesson
Season 3 starts soon, and I've already got a few episodes banked and ready!

Season 2 will archive behind Patreon once Season 3 begins, so if you want the full run of conversations (audio and video), now's a good time to catch up. Go give it a listen — I think you'll hear the thread too.
