Missing Pieces

I do an almost real-time episode where I review some positive feedback we got on returning to vlogging our days and how my week was made up of small moments that I want to remember forever.  I also discuss how I learned about how live streams (and podcasts like this) can negatively affect your channel.  Lastly, I talk about my interest in sim racing, a purchase I made, and of course, my...

I discuss how I got inspired to get back into vlogging again, the importance of doing what makes you happy and not worrying about others or making comparisons, how I got back into watching football and playing it...in Madden.  I also share my win of the week: Hitting a fitness milestone.

I discuss Clark "losing" his front teeth and how that is one of those special moments.  That leads into a conversation about our family snow day and the fun we had with building not only a snowman, but a Sonic LEGO set, and playing a new PS5 game called Rider's Republic.  Also in the world of gaming, I express my new love of VR, specifically a game called Superhot.  I wrap up the sh...

In this podcast episode, I discuss some name ideas for the podcast post-move.  I talk about what a great decision this was to move these episodes to my "life" channel and create a separate/new series on my LEGO channel discussing LEGO content.    Other topics include my reluctance to vlog the day to day activities and instead make my videos intentional.  I reflect on the r...

I discuss why after 110 episodes I made the decision to move my podcast to a new channel and talk about my new priorities and direction in 2022.

I discuss my audio journal journey and the prospect of moving Missing Pieces to my vlog channel.

I discuss how taking a photo of a LEGO set Clark and I built caused controversy, my fear and hope for the future of humanity, Clark being sick yet again and getting to spend time together, my attempts to become  a professional gamer, and of course my dream to get sponsored by Five  Guys and buy a town in West Virginia.  We also put the spoiled topic to  rest for the last time.

I discuss why I didn't film this week on my vlogging channel, why brickitect is still going strong, the fun in growing a new channel, a  new Christmas movie we watched, and engage in an awesome listener  feedback session.

I discuss Thanksgiving week here at our house and a realization I made  about time and how fleeting it is after spending a few days with my now  grown up nephews.

I discuss how I've been spending my time, my favorite thing I've done in  LEGO, how to defeat $20 LEGO Star Wars battle packs, my thoughts on  YouTube removing the dislike button, and the future of humanity.  I also  read your feedback.

I discuss my final week off with Clark and the things we accomplished  including fixing and expanding Minecraft World, building an outdoor  storage unit, rock crawling our RC trucks, and building/streaming the  LEGO Ideas Home Alone set.  I discuss how much that set means to me and  the reasoning then go on to discuss value in LEGO videos after being  inspired by Bric...

I give an update on our health and discuss how excited I am to have another week with Clark.  I give a channel update on what we've been up to and things that are working and not working.  Watchitect got a lot accomplished this week as well.

I discuss Covid hitting the brickitect household and how bitter I am about it along with all the good that has come from it like family time and lots of LEGO backlog building.

I discuss the confusing timeline of the week where Clark was sick and  home with me for most of it and how we fell in love with the Bricklink  Studio design process. I also share listener feedback.

I discuss my win of the week which was fulfilling my dream of doing a morning live show.  5am LEGO has become a reality and the response has been great.  I recap the LEGO items we purchased and worked on and the fun I had with Clark this week.  I also read listener feedback that is related to last week's discussion on where we want to be by episode 200.  The takeaway from this...

I list the ideas listeners had for my 100th episode, then come up with a  new one: List my goals for where and who I want to be by my 200th  episode or roughly two years from now and encourage you to do the same  so we can have this episode as a time capsule to look back on. I also  discuss live streaming and my future with that before going into  listener feedback.

I discuss how Clark got me back into streaming and the pros and cons of  live streaming for me.  I talk about why we skipped Philly Brick Fest  this year and my thoughts on Cobi branded brick built toys.  I also  reveal what I purchased this week in the world of LEGO and talk about  Venom the movie.

I discuss a video I watched this week by the Vlogbrothers titled "How We  Spend Our Days" and how that made me think about how I spend my days  and what I whether I'm making the right decisions with my time.  I  discuss all the things I worked on this week in the world of LEGO and  share listener feedback.

I discuss how I came to the conclusion that you can in fact have too  much LEGO and my thoughts around that.  I discuss my satisfaction with  getting organized and how it has finally made our LEGO amusement park  start taking shape.  I also discuss my sleeping schedule, LEGO Masters,  Clark's first soccer game, and preordering the iPhone 13.  Last but not  l...

I discuss my experience getting an elliptical delivered to our house and  how what I thought was a setback ended up being a win.  I also discuss  Clark getting a cold after his first week of school and now I have it.   We ended up having a few extra days together this week and it was great.   I talk about organizing and the benefits of knowing where your items &n...

This week Clark goes back to school and I get to work on my goals for  the channel and my studio.  I discuss my Non-LEGO build of the week, the  return of How Bad Is It, rebranding my gaming channel, my new green  screen setup, and so much more.  I also discuss being "self-unemployed"  for four years and my feelings on my future.

I recap our final week of summer vacation.  We went for a hike and  finished the Disney Castle.   I started building the LEGO Friends summer  fun water park and Clark joined a soccer team.  We finished watching  LEGO Masters Australia and my opinion changed on it.   In other news, I discuss Instagram and the prospect of collecting always  being a h...

I discuss a recent poll I did asking my audience if they prefer Tik Tok  or YouTube Shorts for short form content and I was surprised by the  results.  I discuss my venture into slow cooker meal prep and a bunch of  stuff I watched and played last week on a chill week of finally being  home and taking it easy after a busy summer vacation schedule.

We just got home from Ocean City Maryland and I decided to go live to not only let people know we are still alive, but to discuss our trip and all the things we did.  Clark joins as well and builds a MOC while contributing to the conversation in classic Clark fashion.  Later in the episode, I do some Q&A with the chat.

I discuss taking a family trip to our favorite local amusement park,  Knoebels, and comparing and contrasting that with our trip to LEGOLAND  NY.  I also discuss our Walmart LEGO clearance hunting day and my  experience playing Microsoft Flight Simulator.
