Not to be taken as legal advice. However we wanted to explore possible solutions to a common theme cropping its ugly head again and again in esports...the goal is to begin an important conversation. Contracts! (This episode can apply to any business to employee / employer relationship too!) It seems no one knows what the hell they are doing from either side. Maybe legal advice should be more of a regular thing? Maybe honesty and to...

Obviously, mental fitness has wide ranging applications, but nevertheless we have decided to start with esports. esports is ripe for the picking. It is still a wild wild west industry with no real "best practices" or standards in place....making this an excellent place to start. Enjoy!

Jason Fung wrote a peculiar article on Fat Shaming and how the medical community is to blame for this. We take issue with Jason Fung's article and how he pretty much uses it to push his theory on insulin being the cause for obesity. We reject Jason Fung's opinion on this topic because it is false. Furthermore he is providing excuses to those suffering from obesity. In most cases, obese individuals should take ownership of their ci...

Here are four November 2018 thoughts. 1) 2015-2016 CDC Obesity Rates. Bad news. Serious bad news. 2) Difference between philosophy and ideology 3) Esports is still full of immature and entitled "kids". Even some 27 year olds deserve to be called "kids" in this context. 4) Hard work is a really good idea. Like universally, it is ALWAYS a good idea.

I don't want to make REF or RMF about me personally. I am always looking at the client and aiming to provide them with vast amounts of value.

I wanted to take sometime to go a little deeper on a topic that I am super passionate about. The perception that I give at different times and why that is. Podcast Fran vs CEO Fran is my attempt at explaining the difference between delivering a message in 30 seconds (podcast) and delivering the same message in 12 months (clients paying for services). Two different scenarios require two different approaches. It's not acting or fake...
