Ninjas in Pyjamas: An iconic esports team with over 20 years of legacy and championship wins, fielding teams around the globe, across various major game titles

At Ninjas in Pyjamas, I am in charge of all daily operations, with an extended focus on commercialization and esports.

Best way to convince people that esports is very real? Go to an event. Check out the stage view from ESL Krakow:


Yes, esports lives digitally in a way that no other sport is even close to, but the foundation is still the same as the rest. Humans coming together, sharing special moments of common interest, watching the best of the best push the limits of what's possible. Entertainment in its purest form.

I love this video from ESL, showcasing the view from the players on stage, where 15.000 people eagerly await the final of Team Vitality & FURIA. What a view.

Over the years, the best way to get people to understand the movement that is happening is to just bring them to an event to experience it all. Those first roars from the crowd of the stage entries and the first few exciting rounds or fights in a game are as self-explanatory as it gets. Every time, people go like "What?! This is amazing!" And I can only agree - yes, it is!


Let's go esports! 🎮 🚀

Accountability post.  Joined a Gym. Not just any Gym. Feels like the perfect Gym for me! 💛


I've never been a gym person. Back when I was climbing mountains, I had a crazy personal trainer who used to chase me along the beach and set her dog on me if I dropped pace. It worked, (I got what I asked for when I wanted to find the scariest and meanest PT) but I don't recommend that approach!

Now I'm older and wiser, I'm all about being part of a community. Finding a supportive tribe is so important, whatever you are into. For a lot of gyms it felt like you had to be in perfect shape before you walked in there and if you were not about getting swole and chugging back Weight Gain 4000 shakes, (Beefcake, BEEFCAKE!!) then you felt out of place. Very Globo Gym!

But then I went in to see Kelly Bailey at 11 Eleven Fitness, which is literally a 4 minute walk from my house. Also open at 6am, so as an early riser, that is perfect for me. 

As soon as I walked in and sat down for a coffee with her in the gyms lovely lounge, I knew it was going to be my kind of place. There were chess boards and table top games on the tables! Even spotted some members I knew, who were smiling and happy to be there!  🤓

The gym itself is very relaxed, huge space and I did not get any "all about the insta" red flags. Non-judgmental, welcoming, and community-focused. It just felt like a really awesome community. There was a class going on this morning at 6am which looked bad ass, a couple working out together and a dude on the treadmill next to me who looked very much in the zone but got a nod and a smile. Also, good tunes on and decent volume. Found some gyms have very heavy hardcore beats, that you can hear, even if you have your own headphones in. 

Good workout while I listened to a lesson of my course, grabbed some free fruit from the basket in the lounge and ready to start the day. 

For those who get the reference, it feel's like Average Joes after they take over Globo Gym. So to paraphrase Peter LaFleur - You're perfect the way you are. But if you feel like losing a few pounds, eating healthier, and making a few friends in the process, then I'd say this is the place for you. 💛

I even bought a branded hoody! 💛

Today I am hosting the Islands first Geeks Market. 🤓

Never done anything like this before 🙃


It was born out of speaking to local Geeky crafters who felt that were out of place at regular markets and car bootys. So I figured, ok, why not bring them all together under one roof so they don’t just feel like they belong, but know they are supported by loads of other Geeks. 

Kind of making it up as I go, which is what happened with the Geeks Quiz when I started that and that’s been going for over 3 years now and is by far the biggest (200 awesome Geeks quizzing in person every month!) and I’d say, the most fun quiz on the Island now. 

Sure there will be awesome photos to share next week and I cannot wait to meet and great so many crafters, collectors and also people who might not think they are a Geek but actually geek out about a lot of things! 

💜

Yesterday was the first Geeks Market on the Island. I was worried about how it would go. 🥹


This is Megan, she is amazing. She is also one of the crafters from the day. She sums the day up so much better than I could. Megan was incredible on the day, all the crafters were. She runs Embrace Wigs. I'll drop her website deets in the comments. 

I didn't ask her to make or post this video, she didn't even send it to me, I just spotted it on her reels page last night. 💜

I’ll also drop some photos from the day in the comments though. 

Just like the Geeks Quiz I’ve been running for over 3 years now, yesterdays Geek Market was all about creating a safe space for people to be themselves (just like at Acclaim Limited where I work 💚), and Geek out about the things they love, whether it was crafters or those visiting to browse all the awesome stuff. 

There was also cake…so much amazing amazing cake. 😊

Feedback from everyone I spoke to on the day was so positive. Not gonna hide it, there were a couple of happy tears in my beard at the end of the day.

This morning I had a breakfast meeting with someone whom I admire greatly. One of the best parts, coming away with an awesome "oh you must read" book list! 😁 📚

BUT...what I did think about, now I am back at my desk and looking to see if any local bookshops stock the titles, is how easy it would have been to purchase the books in real time during the breakfast meeting this morning and have them download onto my Kindle by the time I'm back at the office!

BUT...I still love holding the physical book in my hand. Turning the crisp new pages, using a favourite bookmark and seeing it take pride of place on a shelf, ready to be taken down for another read. I also LOVE special editions, I'm currently reading Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman and it is a Waterstones exclusive hardcover and it is absolutely gorgeous! 

So, once again, I am contemplating getting a Kindle. I have an old fire tablet I have used in the past for some hard to find books, but don't have a Kindle....

I have a holiday coming up, so it might be time to finally try out a Kindle? 🤔

What do you use? 

Both or exclusively one over the other? Should I look at other eBook readers beyond the Kindle? I see there is now a whole family of different Kindle readers...any Kindle readers got any advice on which one to go for? 

Either way, the awesome books will get read. 

Books are awesome! 💜

For anyone who attended my previous AI workshops last month, you will know what is in this box. Yes, we bought an additional one! 

Bertha has been so good that we went and bought another one for a different part of the house. It arrived this morning, met with great excitement!

I wonder if these two, BoJanlges and MoMo, know what is in the box? #WhatsInTheBox

If you have absolutely no idea what any of this means, but are interested to know more, then I will drop a link in the comments to the last two workshops of the year that I am running. 

There is one on the 3rd of March and the final one is on the 26th of March, which as it is the last one I am running for the year, I will do my very best to make it a special one. 

🤔 now I just need to come up with a new name for the second one....thinking it needs to be a male this time. 

Maybe Clawde....
