The trio dives into our own experiences of how our parents impacted our journeys in and outside of chess. We share the good, the bad, how it affected us when we were younger and what we’ve learned from our journeys as adults reflecting back.

Before we jump into specific topics, get to know our journeys of how we stumbled into the chess world and how we got to the positions we are in today where chess is a big part of our career! We all bring a different perspective and path to this podcast project and we're looking forward to sharing it with you.

Branching out of my solo segments, I join forces with Keaton Kiewra and Kevin (KDLearns) to bring you episodes where we shed light on topics related to chess, mental health and content creation. Our aim is to discuss common issues that players and creators in the chess community face throughout their journey.
