From October 8th to November 23rd, 2020, you would think with dance studio shutdown it would slow down Tripoli Studios owner Giulia Tripoli (@giulia_tripoli), right? Not a chance. It took us 2-3 rescheduling to get this episode rolling and catch up since our last conversation! She has her Monday's inspiration live on instagram. She co-host @lewarmupfm. Giulia just launched @proj.re. She host @thedanceplugpod. She also manages to sneak in some photoshoots including one with yours truly. This episode will touch on everthing I've mentioned and more.

Those who know me - I get trigger. However, recently a lot of people are so close-minded that they are the cause of the trigger. Such life is not healthy. No matter which creative or esports life, bad energies is not welcome. Small rant about triggers and why you shouldn't be rally yourself up. Remember: constructive criticism helps growth - negativity cannot enter - just nod and change the channel.

October - breast cancer awareness month and how I've contributed throughout the years with my skill set as a photographer. When my friend Nalie Agustin beckons me to shoot and contribute at her events (Nalie show, Birthday days, and The Release MTL), how can I say no to the one who named me Ninja first.
As mentioned in the podcast episode it is best if I leave you to read up and catch up on Nalie's adventures and story than for me to repeat it ( as i may get the numbers and dates wrong...)
Raising funds help but using your skillset to bring smiles and help out is the best way.

3 years later Mirage Esports is breaking boundaries and winning local tournaments such as Lan ETS and Dreamhack Montreal. It is not a small feat as the team is in stiff competition against North American teams in games such as League of Legends, Rocket League, and this year: Rainbow 6 Siege. I sat down with the founder Yannick Babin (@mig_babinski) to talk about the longevity so far of the organization, what has he learned so far, the esports "bubble", and players expectations when it comes to esports organization. It is another great talk from the top exploring what goes behind the scenes of esports organization and I wouldn't have it any other way than to be part of Mirage Esports.

Something different but it is part of my personality: FOOD. I have Jason W (@dattriniboy) to talk about cooking, restaurants, food type, his inspiration of food culture, and more. Why is am I talking about this when I am a photographer? I love food, I take pictures of my food, and I also cook. Food gathers friends, events (like burgerweek), and happiness.
Lets discuss.

We talk about all the djs involved in a DJ collaboration called RnB on a Sunday and more on his adaptation to twitch streaming.

I've been visiting his twitch stream since quarantine and since MTLCC is canceled, I wanted to catch up with him on his transition to Twitch (or comeback rather), and how he adapted since quarantine. I also took the opportunity to ask him how he is doing, favourite conventions, and more.

The only convention that has been pushed back in 2020 that is still going to attempt to launch is Geek-It (@geekitcon) near Halloween, for 3 days, at the old port. Last year was their first convention in Montreal, and their sophomore year (this year) was a rocky start. I sat down with Tom, founder of Geek-It, to talk to him about his learnings, what is coming this year (Virtual Market, Scavenger Hunt, more panels, etc), how is Geek-It going to adapt to the social distancing, return to the venue with more space, and more.

In my previous life, I would roam the nightlife. One of my favourite DJs would be DJ J-Fro (@1djffro). Covid-19 halted the nightlife and a lot of people jumped on Twitch streaming. I encouraged J-Fro to jump also but he was buying his time to get it right. Now he has a steady stream 3 times a week, but at first, it was a bit of a struggle. J-Fro will go over his history as a DJ. We talk about how a lot of the classic songs are still amazing to this day. We talk about his transition to Twitch stream. We also have several stories and recount of certain nights where musically it was just jamming.

We talked about how he threw me to the wolves to see if I would sink or swim. I guess I floated and survived? Let us tell you some of our battle stories. Let me tell you how many things can go wrong and you just need to learn and adapt.

Way back then - DC vs Marvel was a thing in the comics. 5 issues DC best vs Marvel Best. A decade or so later, who would win and who would be on your roster? I started the subject of Batman vs Superman (batman obviously) but then quickly turn into Batman vs Captain America...then soon after Jason W (@dattriniboy), from Thoughts and Confessions and Multiverse, started to pick rosters from the current era and we went to WAR! If you like these "what if" scenarios - this is an interesting listen.

Let it be esports, artists, cosplay, or photography: does gear or materials matter. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Can having the correct gear help you? yes. But without knowledge of how to use it correctly, it is only half of the battle. First comes the person who has mastered the craft, then comes the effective gear. You can give Link the master sword at level 1, but it will be a hero with only 3 container heart instead of 12. PSA: don't forget the person who is creating the craft, playing the game, doing the cosplay - its not only the gear.

Meet John Eric, comic guy hunter. Ok not much of a hunter but a very good friend of mine that I meet up at MTL Comiccon every year. We have different objectives when we visit the convention however we still love the convention and he goes for panels and to buy comics. This is a conversation from a "premium pass" goer and comic searcher. We talk about celebrity comic book artists seen (such as Kevin Eastman), great cosplay, some amazing panels, and thanks to him I got to listen in on Nathan Fillion panel one con. Did you know DMC from Run DMC drew comics?

Running it back from Eps 33, I am continuing my rant on sexism in social media and esports. Toxicity and sexisms still running rampant. Without this conversation and continuing to raise awareness, sexism and racism will not go away. Round 2 - listen a bit, maybe I'm just crazy.

I have Founder x Owner of Livid Gaming (@LividGG), CitizenGG (@CitizenGG), chiming in on how it feels to have a cohesive esports org and what are his core values in this foundation. We talk sponsorship and collaborations with @Pulselabs, @oshkopc, and the hottest esports related drink company @GFuelEnergy (just got my 4 tubes, thanks guys). We dive into what makes sense for an org to pick up. We also touch upon Valorant, will they be participating in Rainbow 6 Siege Canadian, and much more.

We are currently trying to resolve what is happening around the world with systemic racism. I have talked about racism as a whole but also in cosplay. Lets move onto another toxic plane: systemic sexism in esports or video game industry. I do not know of the corporate world, however there has been some toxicity to the next level on a monthly basis that makes it unacceptable. Want to be part part of the solution? I encourage to talk about it, point it out, and also checkout AnyKey.org

As I was browsing my feed, I spotted @local_super (insta: @local_super) raised (repost) a topic that is also apparent in the cosplay community: racism. Reposting from @sykecos (when recorded it was @crowrium) - the original source, @Rosiestormborn and I decided to tackle this topic head-on considering we are doing our own rounds of conversation in regards to racism. Taking @Sykecos 6 tips in helping out black cosplayers.

I have Jason W (@dattriniboy), from Thoughts & Confession and Multiverse Podcast, back hanging with me and discussing the same topic that was raised during Stephen Voyce (@stephen_voyce) podcast episode: Sexism and Racism in entertainment - did Black Panther and Wonder Woman solved their respective issues or was it pandering. The difference now is that Jason is a fan of the comics and will he see it in the same POV?

Rosie, @rosiestormborn, returns to the podcast to deep dive into the life of a cosplayer. What are the behind the scene stuff that a cosplayer goes through so that we (the fans, visitors, and fellow cosplayers), can empathize with another cosplayer to un-toxicity the community as a whole. She sheds some key low features and gives key tips on how to get out of the dark side of things. From mental state, to belonging and taking shots at this ninja.

Northern Arena has been making waves in the past year, where do I begin? NHL20Cup, partnership with CPL, Sony Pictures partnership, 2 media production company (Ginx and Squad State), acquiring Mirage Esports, and that will be the tip of the iceberg of 2020. Who is the mad genius orchestrating this? I sat down with the founder & CEO Carl-Edwin Michel to talk about everything I've just mentioned, and also deep dive into the learning curve that his company had to face, and how in tune he is in esports by going left when everyone else went right.

I have Jason W (@dattriniboy from Thoughts & Confessions / Multiverse Podcast) back to discuss a must discussion: if we had kids, what are the cartoons from our era they should be watching? I will guarantee that many who listen to the podcast won't identify with the choices we made. Sorry about that. It is also a very long episode so strap in for the listen! As a personal side note (mentioned in the episode), I will get around to watch The Dragon Prince featuring an acquaintance Omari Newton (@omariakilnewton). I promise! before the year-end!
