The one thing I have learned from you is that the people you surround yourself with is most important ingredient to a fruitful life. Especially in difficult times. And friends, I am going to let you in on a secret. This summer marks the 7th full year in business for our little communications company, miniature massive. We are launching a Summer preview today and you guys are the first to have a look at its fresh nip and tuck. This pandemic has taught us to innovate and to be ...agile on our feet. And with that, we look to grow. The changes in the business landscape and the time at home has allowed us to evolve miniature massive as we eye the future. Born as a remote company, the pandemic helped us force our little model into fruition, and we look to move it forward everyday to serve you. One of the main features of the site is a 200 photo portrait wall. Portraits of that people who helped this machine go, the people who made me want to jump out of bed in the morning. *The appreciation runs deep. Click through and look for yourself or a friend.

During the pandemic, the kids and I were looking for fun and challenging activities that didn't involve a screen. The craving for tactile, really fuelled our creativity and it inspired us to begin building prototypes of a game that I had originally dreamed up when I was a young boy. The result is Move or Shoot. A game you can touch, to be shared with friends & family that doesn’t require electricity or a large space. Equal parts strategy & skill, with a touch of chance, it ...promotes motor skills and help brain activity while having more fun than ever. And today, the DIY kits are available for order! (Follow the link in bio to get yours.) A game for the future. Inspire the mind, while reducing screen time. Combine strategic moves with flipping, sliding and skipping the disc. Capture other players, win them back. Block & ricochet. This game is a meditative competition that places action against restraint and is both calming and exhilarating. It incorporates chance, geometry, open space & time. Combine this with the human imagination, and your stresses will melt away. Play inside or out.Imagine kids gathering in the park, and bringing their own sets, sharing trick shots, and playing until the sun goes down.

The best part of my job is working with awesome people and helping them tell their story to the world. At @miniaturemassive, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some fantastic folks, making trails. I recently met a kindred spirit, whose life path has been an interesting one. Being an ex-pro athlete myself, and having had to transition from high level athletics to the real world, it is a tall task. And I have been fortunate to have met and collaborate with others who hav...e had a similar journey. We are sharing insights and using my tools to help them leverage their strengths and get to the next stone in their journey. We will be profiling these great people ongoing, here on our page on the web and on instagram. One of the latest is an ex OHL hockey star with a great story. He was on a b-line to the bigs, and along his way he was faced with debilitating head injuries. A subject that has become a common topic of conversation in the hockey world these days, and reasonably so. Arron Alphonso had to make a hard decision and changed his path. He has since become a student of eastern philosophy and has learned the benefits of mindfulness, meditation and plant medicine. As a coach, mentor and just all around good person, Arron evokes positivity and integrity. He is developing a voice and will be launching a podcast called the ‘Inner Chi Podcast’ to share his insights with the world. We helped him articulate his vision and establish the brand. Keep an ear to the ground for Arron and his camp. We need more people like this to lead the charge in this new decade! For the second time, we collaborated with Illustrator Ron Ackins, hailing from Philadelphia PA. Another fabulous person I have had the pleasure of meeting and collaborating with. He helped us depict Arron in an accurate and inspiring way. Thanks again Ron. #personalbranding #arronalphonso #peopleoftoronto #ronaldackins #miniaturemassive #toronto @miniaturemassive @j.j.adam @ron.ackins
