That’s great to hear. Thanks for listening!
Hi Gabe, Hi Evan,
Just wanted to reach out and let you know that this was one of my favorit episodes. You did a great job in explaining your way of going pro in a realistic way. It definitely is hard to go pro and not everything is fun all the time. But at the end it is worth to make the sacrifices you need to make. Very motivational episode for me, someone who is still on his way of getting into the pro scene. Keep up the great work and good luck with your kickstarter campaign Evan.
Gabe,
What a wonderful story…I wish I had taken the time to meet Evan while at Origins a few weeks ago, as he attended the Mash-Up/Meet-Up with folks from three different podcasts/channels, including Man Vs. Meeple; Blue Peg, Pink Peg; and the Brawling Brothers.
Cheers,
Joe
