Brady and Ryan are back in the New London studio with Brady's best friend Michael "Breegs" Bregel. The trio sits down to discuss Bregel's creative venture over a few delicious craft beers.

It begins with a short discussion on how Bregel grew to love craft beer - from his first sips as a child to the opening of Goat Ridge in New London. They then dive into side hustles and what drove him to start designing tabletop games.

After a few prototypes he landed on Wizards & Relics, a card game inspired by the card game War with a fantasy theme that features magic and ancient relics. Discussion ebbs and flows between the creative process, game design, testing, crowdfunding, and entrepreneurship. They discuss creating a focus from an endless list of ideas and the work it takes to turn a single idea into something that creates a tangible impact.

Besides game publishing, Bregel has a few other creative pursuits. He designed the logo of Cuyuna Brewing (@cuyunabrewing) and has a morning show called Blissful Breakfast with Breegs. It doles out bliss every week (#blissfulbreakfast) and lets him explore his interest in the spiritual and esoteric. Look for him on Instagram or Facebook for a weekly dash of positivity.
