It's rare to find something you're highly skills and successful at and have that be the same thing you're very passionate about.

Misery loves company, but so does 'good job'. That's the theme of the day. Building a culture of telling people good job while teaching and coaching. Come here how I relate this to a recent MTG game I played on CadPop Episode 342.Pick up my eBook here: https://www.commandercookout.com/product/paintingtradingcards/87Support on Patreon, here: Patreon.com/CadPopCast.

This week I look back on the past year or so of coaching and teaching and relate it to when I've taught players how to play Magic. The consistant messaging. The patience. The reflections on what's working and what isn't. All of that stuff is important, but the most important part of all of that, no matter what side you're on, is intention. Practice and do everything with intention.Pick up my eBook here: https://www.commandercookout.com/product/paintingtradingcards/87Support on Patreon, here: Patreon.com/CadPopCast.

We kick things off with a gameplay story from the other night at my friend's house. That leads us right into a theory I've been building over the past week or so. Do my decks fall into the 'power' category, or the 'synergy' category?
