I know, I know. It’s been a while. And so much has gone on since the last post. So I’ll try to catch up little by little.
First of all, I’m really excited about the guest we had on the show today. His name is Eric Nylund, and not only is he a best-selling fantasy & science fiction author, but he wrote 3 of the 5 HALO novels and his new book Mortal Coils has just been released.
Eric also works with the Microsoft Game Studio as a story consultant, and is intrinsically involved in game development. So today we talked about family dynamics, violent video games, mythology, video games and girls, and so much more.
Plus, he spills the secrets on how to get in to the video gaming field. Eric talks about how he got into it and the smartest ways for others to break in. And let me tell you, he says the field is wide open if you’re a female!

Fun fact about Eric: He’s a scientist by trade with degrees in chemistry and phyics.
And speaking of scientists… next week we welcome our favorite Quantum Physicist, Dr. Mani Bhaumik, back to the show. He’s the co-creator of the excimer laser, which is what makes LASIK eye surgery possible. He grew up in abject poverty during the independence movement in India and even spent some time in his youth serving Ghandi.
His love of knowledge brought him to the United States where his skills blossomed and he changed the world of ophthalmology. He went on to be featured in Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and even dated the gorgeous, and smart, Eva Gabor for a while.
After some soul-searching, Dr. Bhaumik turned his attention to the search, as a scientist, for God, which resulted in his book Code Name God. He now creates educational programs for young people and overseas the Mani Bhaumik award given for advancing the understanding of the brain and conscious mind in healing.
Dr. Bhaumik is charming, witty and fun and I hope you’ll join us next week on the show for our conversation.
In the meantime, remember to take time to hop off the hamster wheel and make sure you’re following your own dreams, not just making the dreams of other people come true.
Watch this for a reminder:
Till next time (and I promise, it won’t be so long!)
