The Game Is Life. And I Play With Purpose.

I’m Tariq A. Cayne, a gamer, coach, speaker, writer, and founder.

Kingcayne is the creative brand where I use games, art, and business to tell stories for those who want to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

Whether it’s a controller in hand, pen to paper, or a business in motion, I play with purpose.

About Me

I'm a husband, business owner, gamer, speaker, strategist, and writer. I study systems, play purposefully, and teach others to see life as the ultimate game. Every role I play, whether personally or professionally, is rooted in intention and soul.
Games are not just distractions. They are systems. They are mirrors. They teach us how to think, adapt, lead, and live. I believe the same strategic mindset that wins in-game can transform your real-world decisions, relationships, and mission.
Because life moves fast. Because we often forget who we are. Because your next decision could shift everything. My work is about slowing down, thinking clearly, and making every move matter.
It’s not about status. It’s about responsibility.
“Kingcayne” is a mindset—a reminder that I’m here to protect the soul, lead with clarity, and live with purpose. It’s not about power. It’s about service.

Teaching the Game

I’ve played ‘The Game of Life’ for several decades. I’ve taken notes and wrote these short stories of wisdom that will help reflect on life’s experiences.

The Look Back

You can either make content or make comments. Every second of every detail that goes into making art should be appreciated. So let’s take a look back and review how art inspires.

Just Thinking

Random thoughts on my mind. Heavy words from my heart. Therapy for my soul.

The Deadly Combo: Venomous Kiss

"They offered desire and glory, dressed as gifts. You gave them nothing in the end. And by walking away, you became the conqueror they never saw coming."

Freedom, Unity, and Sacrifice

Freedom and unity are impossible to obtain without sacrifice. I’ve come to learn that achieving perfection is an impossible task. Yet, the more I pay attention to my surroundings, the more I see that perfection is the one thing we won’t sacrifice.

Keys of Being Yourself

Once you unlock the idea of uniqueness in your mind, you start to move differently. The patterns of your actions follow a new frequency. Once you divert from your old waves, raging tides turn into smooth streams. You no longer go with the flow. You create the wave.

Find Your Tribe

I’ve been very blessed to experience life amongst many kinds of people. The rich, the poor. The happy, the sad. And all in between. The one thing I’ve come to find to believe that we all have in common is that we can be all of the above. There are many walks of life. It all depends on how you play the game.

Did it Once? Do it Again!

Listen, if you accomplished something once then aim to do it again. Soon what is viewed as lucky will be considered the norm. What makes that the case is the grit to remain consistent. Small wins add up to giant victories.

Make Doubt Look Dumb

There will always exist a voice of discouragement that convinces many people to doubt themselves. Now if you believe doubt, then it sounds like a genius. But if you listen closely, doubt sounds really dumb. Don’t believe me? Just ask Consistency.

Getting Back to God

The challenge is when we grow up in the world and not in the Word. Over time, I strayed from the path my mother worked so diligently to guide me.

Think Twice

How often have you been told, “Think twice before you act?” Did you act twice before thinking? What if we apply the Pareto Principle to our health and wellness? Particularly to strengthen our focus.
