The Rebel Cashunter

Hey Guys! Just to let you all know we are taking our Creatively Speaking podcast to Anchor!    Give us a listen ..      https://anchor.fm/s/25dfba4

Everybody has their own view on what they need in order to be creative. My biggest tool happens to be music, I find it to be a complete inspiration when it comes to designing a game. The reason why is because quite frankly each song has its own theme as well as its own story. So sometimes as I’m in the middle of designing the look and feel of the game materials and challenges, I’m usually constantly wearing headphones. It pretty much brings me to a completely creative place, and at times I might stop just to listen to lyrics. Motivation is an interesting dynamic, especially when it comes to music. A lot of people get inspired by the design of the song and the beat, which is completely understood. The beat of a song can change the feeling in your body and maybe pump up your adrenaline (if your at a Gym) But I believe the lyrics are more inspirational there anything. The art of storytelling in a song is rare, but when you find one you need to listen to it more than a couple time...

Our new CASHUNT city is…. The one thing I love is bringing our product to another city and recreating the game board based on that area. Their have been many cities that we have looked at and and continue to look at, but we study it to make sure it’s a perfect fit. Is it walkable? what is the cultural setting? demographics? and how can we positively expose that city to give our players a new appreciation of the city’s surroundings. Sometime the city works out and we move forward…or it doesn’t. In the end we are not greedy, if anything strategic so we are not wasting our time as well as our potential facilitator of that location. Sometimes we look at smaller areas / markets where the product can flourish and bring a more unique approach to that market place. Then there are times we might look at a larger city that will bring another approach to our product with a wide variety of clients. With that said we will have 3 new cities in 2018, which one of the 3 will be in Heraklion, ...

One of the coolest parts of our business is to find new locations for our product that will bring a new game element / theme to the new city that is chosen….but we are picky. A lot of businesses..want to grow rapidly which is fantastic…but that is not our method..I believe rapid growth tarnishes the novelty of the product. For us when we pick a new city it might take a year even two, but it has to fit the criteria. The “criteria” being location, working with the right people, how we can develop our game and have it reinvent itself every year, etc…which we will keep to ourselves. ;) In 18 Years of Cashunt the one thing we are proud of is our reputation..and how that reflects is via the constant repeat clients as well as the fresh faces we see year after year. Building a business is definitely not as easy as people would imagine, just like any other business it takes alot of what many people see as a treaded word..”Work” ;) Once that is achieved and you can sacrifice a few th...

So this video was an interesting one to say the least.  This was conducted back in 2009-2010 and I was asked to be interviewed about our game.  Now the reason why it was so interesting is because I had just finished a game on a hot summer day and ran to this interview because I was running late.  Once I got there I was mike up and ready to start the interview.  As I am waiting for the host (I'm off camera) I am reading his teleprompter and not realizing at that very moment after all the hard work we put in to building this brand where we ranked in the city.  It was once the camera went onto me and I was smiling it was for a reason I thought we were ranked 300 something out of 350...not 4th of 350.  So lets just say I was giddy...but after this interview was shot...thats when things started to change for the game!  Always Hustle!!
