Hi there, I'm Ashnichrist!
Like most people, my childhood wasn't easy. I am lucky to have a very strong mother who left home when I was 7 and my sister was 5, to raise us on her own. I have dealt with social anxiety and depression off and on since 2009, but I am a believer that these early experiences helped shape who I am today: strong, determined, and capable. I have been a gamer my entire life. I honestly can't remember a time when video games were not a passion of mine. They were an escape when times were bad and a way for my friends to connect when times were good. I asked for a console for every birthday, I stayed up until 4am playing Halo on school nights, and I played Guitar Hero until my fingers callused. I transitioned to PC gaming in 2012, found Twitch, and have been streaming since 2013. I have worked with multiple esports organizations both on-camera and behind-the-scenes. Everyone in esports and gaming has a passion for it, but most people don't act on that passion. I have been in management for over 6 years and love figuring out what makes YOU tick. How do I flip the switch to motivate you? How can I make you excited to pursue your dreams? How can I help you feel happier with your life? My management style is leading by example, so I try to live my life meaningfully by being the personification of happiness, motivation, and action to show you that YOU CAN achieve the same. I majored in Business and Marketing and have always had a passion for indirect marketing, social media, and content creation. I discovered business podcasts in the summer of 2015 and have not listened to music in the gym or the car since. I greedily digest lessons from Pay Flynn, John Lee Dumas, Gary Vaynerchuck, Tom Robbins, and more every single day. I am always researching new ways to market, manage, and refine public relations for brands to make them more successful. Integrating my passion for video games, my obsession with business strategies/management, and my love of creating is my calling. That is what this site is for. Like starting a consistent gym routine; the hardest part about pursuing your dreams is taking action. This website is the central hub of my content created to teach you how to manage your community, improve your Twitch stream, or motivate yourself to achieve your goals. You are awesome and you deserve for people to know that. Enjoy. |
