Chic CEO announcement!

Posted on by

I’ve begun advising for a company called Chic CEO, which is a fantastic resource for female entrepreneurs. Women can go to the website to learn how to get their businesses started for free (with premium content as well). From learning how to write up a business plan, filing for an EIN, or getting the right tax forms filled out, it’s all there.

Out of the several companies I work with on a advisory level, this is the only one with a strong female presence. I think it’s hugely important to give women with big ideas the know-how and resources to make them a reality.

Aside from the female POV, another reason I wanted to work with them is because the information is concrete, easy-to-understand and easy-to-implement. The site is geared towards women, but it’s filled with great advice that anyone could use.

They’ve also been written up in Forbes twice recently, in their Top 10 Entrepreneurial Websites For Women and The 10 Best Websites for Millennial Women, and they also regularly host events in the San Diego and NYC area.

I think we’ll be doing some fun stuff at SXSW this year as well, so stay tuned!

On to the next adventure!

Some of Team Qore in London

When I joined the team at Qore in April of 2008 (April Fool’s Day!), I don’t think any of us had any idea of what to expect. Nothing like Qore had ever been done before. A subscription-based digital magazine? Available on the PlayStation? All I knew was that this was going to be interesting.

Since the show launched, I’ve had the opportunity to meet some of the smartest, most interesting people in the gaming industry, traveled the world to speak with incredibly creative game developers, and even had the opportunity to voice characters in the DLC for one of my favorite titles of all time. Plus, we’ve had an unbelievably talented group of people at Future Studios US that made the whole thing possible.

Qore is a growing and changing program, and one of those changes will be a new host for Episode 43 and onward. There will be more announcements coming soon, like who Qore’s new host will be (I think you’ll be super excited to get to know them!), so keep your eyes on the PlayStation Blog.

As for me, well, I’m already in overdrive with new project ideas and possibilities, and I’m excited to get started with the next chapter (I mean that literally too… I’ll be using some of this time to start my first NaNoWriMo novel)!

Thank you so much to the Qore viewers who have made doing the show so much fun, and to everyone on the Future Studios team (and at Future US in general… all my friends at PlayStation: The Official Magazine, GamesRadar, OXM and PC Gamer) for all their hard work, and of course to Sony and the folks at PlayStation for making it all possible.

As always, you can keep up-to-date with me on Twitter, Google Plus, Tekzilla, Sword and Laser, and right here on this blog. I’ll see you on the outside!

And if you’ve never seen Qore before, here’s a preview of Episode 41, out now!
