Michiel 'Easterdamnz' Van Elsacker, Twitch streamer and GG Squad

Beyond the Grind with JNandez

In this episode of Beyond The Grind i'm joined by Twitch Streamer and fellow GG Squad member Easterdamnz.
We discuss a variety of different topics from first telling friends and family about playing poker, how he went from twitch troll to successful twitch streamer. As well as dealing with being in the spotlight after putting yourself out there when it comes to areas such as negativity and hate, before moving on to looking at life beyond the grind such as building relationships and goals for the future.
As usual you can find all timestamps below, enjoy!
