This has been a Long Road………..

1 year 1 month. That’s how long GamerHusbands Radio has been around. Some of you can remember the startup days when we didn’t have this website. No matter what we were working with, we always seemed to make the best of it.

Nowdays, it seems like becoming a podcaster is as common as a teenager wanting to be a rapper, but I truly believe you can tell the level of passion in the product. For many years I was just skating around the rink of life. Just going in circles. Sometimes an obstacle would come up, and I would dodge it. Sometimes overcoming the obstacle, and colliding head-on other times. 1 year and 1 month ago, my life was forever changed. An idea that started out as a small desire turned into something a lot bigger. Everytime I plug in my microphone and prepare for the show, it feels like i’m the luckiest man alive. How many people get to live our their dream. There are so many people who are just skating around the circle of life. I should have been to bed a few hours ago. My body is requesting some sleep, but after 1 year and 1 month, I’m still just as excited about each post I put up. I think we have some of the most talented staffs for a gaming website. We all work full time jobs also, and the majority of us has wife/kids. I went back to the first page on this site, and I could just feel the excitement in our first posts. Reading Soctt’s first post is amazing. Sometimes, it amazed me because he is so creative. His Call of Duty post is a sample of that. I think a lot of people didn’t see that post, but if you are reading this article, then you can see where I reposted it for your viewing pleasure. All of our staff is really talented. The guys that write have their own personalities and writing styles, and it all adds up to an eclectic mix of content. Tristan, our community manger, is contacting developers and lining up interviews. Everyone on staff works extremely hard, so I want to give a shout-out to them: Tristan, Allen, Robert, Joe, Chuck, Kevin, and Sam.

When I talk to my brother, he reminds me of how big of an accomplishment we have made. I never stop to enjoy the scenery, because I’m always looking ahead. That’s the negative side of passion. When you put so much into your hopes/dreams, there is always some sort of sacrifice that happens, whether intentional or unintentional. We sacrifice time with our wives and kids to write articles and record the show. Sam walks in the door from work, and turns on his mic. That’s tough when you’ve been under a car all day. We all make sacrifices of sorts to do this. With all of the sacrifice, this is, and always will be my passion. We never talk about these topics on the show. We always aim to keep it positive. Everyone on staff works very hard to keep GHR running, and we all have a passion for making this the best it can be.

I’m really exctited about the upcoming things we have. We appreciate everyone that has been a part of GHR, and definitely want to show our sincerest gratitude to you. We are just getting warmed up for 2009, so get ready, get excited, and strap your seatbelts down and place your tray tables in the upright position. Year 2 is starting off very fast, and the train is just picking up speed.
