Welcome back to "30 Minutes with DailyStraits.com," I'm June Ramli, your guide to insightful conversations. Today, we're joined by a unique visionary, Bryan Reedy, CEO of Gamer Advantage. Hailing from Eastern Michigan, Bryan's life took a significant turn at age 10 with a Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis. This challenging period, combined with his passion for Nintendo 64, shaped his outlook on health and wellness.
Bryan's academic path led him to Eastern Michigan University, where he immersed himself in Film Studies and Broadcasting.

In 2018, this interest culminated in the founding of Gamer Advantage, a company dedicated to improving the well-being of gamers through cutting-edge technology.
