SUCCESS FREAKS – #80 – DORKS RISING – GUEST STARRING: KEVIN MICKELSON

January 17, 2013 by Success Freaks

Kevin Mickelson knew he wanted to be an author from a young age, but kept putting it off because it didn’t seem realistic. When he finally decided that realism wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, he put a sample of his work together and contacted Zombie Orpheus Entertainment to see if they could use a freelance writer to pen a new adventure module based on their hit independent film, “The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising.”

They liked what they saw, and his effort resulted in a chance to form friendships with some of his favorite independent film stars, as well as a high-profile freelance gig that put his name on the radar! His wheel-spinning days behind him, he’s now devoting his energy toward pushing his dream ever further and working to bring a piece of the larger gaming world to his home town of Duluth, Minnesota.

Welcome to the #1 “Here There Be Geeks” Comedic Motivational Show…otherwise known as “Success Freaks”. Tonight Mordant & McFall chat it up with their special guest, Kevin Mickelson, also known as “Gamemaster’s Kip”. Geeks and dreamcatchers alike will love this show as Kevin takes us from his humble gamer beginnings, the influence of one of Mordant’s vlogs, which gave him the courage to step out of his comfort zone, and onward to his successful journey as a freelance writer… following his passion to success.

Look for Kevin’s new kickstarter project soon: Berserkon
