Hi, I’m Jacq, and welcome to the podcast that refuses to pick a lane.
Somewhere between trying to outsmart Google SEO on my gaming blog and squeezing mindset advice into Medium’s tidy little boxes… I realized I didn’t really have a space that felt like me. Not content-me. Not coach-me. Not gamer-me. Just… me-me.
That’s what this podcast is for.
I’ve been blogging for over a decade, started with productivity hacks and rants about corporate life, and somehow landed in a full-blown gaming blog. And I still love that space. It’s where I deep-dive into game guides, reviews, and all the stuff gamers actually come for.
But over time, I stopped writing about the other sides of me, the parts that care about solopreneur life, mindset shifts, spontaneous café-hopping adventures, and random thoughts I have in the shower that spiral into mini existential essays.
My gaming blog isn’t the place for that. And Medium? It’s great but it’s built for structured, polished content with a clear takeaway and preferably an SEO-friendly headline. Which is… not always what I want to say.
That’s why I started Jacq of All Trades.
This podcast is where I expand on things I write about across platforms from personal growth to creator life to gaming and everything in between. It’s the voiceover to my blog posts, my Medium essays, and my behind-the-scenes rambles. Sometimes deep. Sometimes weird. Occasionally helpful. Always caffeinated.
So what can you expect from this podcast?
Real talk about being a content creator especially when you’re starting later in life. The ups and downs of solopreneurship, which I’ve been navigating for the past two decades. Random gaming takes, productivity experiments, and the kind of unfiltered brain dumps that just don’t belong in an algorithm-friendly box.
There’s no niche here, really and that’s the point.
If you’re into that, the real talk, the ramblings, the “let’s figure this out together” kind of vibe, go ahead and hit follow. That way, you’ll get new episodes as soon as they drop.
Thanks for listening. Let’s see where this goes.
