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. His initial foray into the media world began with an innovative FM gamer radio talk show in Detroit, although it was a brief venture. Bryan then pivoted to the finance sector, sharpening his expertise in marketing and management.
A critical shift in his career occurred when Bryan entered the eyewear industry, where he developed an interest in merging technology with eyewear. 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. As CEO, Bryan is committed to creating products that help gamers find a healthy balance between their gaming passion and rest.
In our conversation with Bryan, we'll explore various facets of his journey:
- The motivation behind shifting from finance to the eyewear sector.
- The inception story of Gamer Advantage.
- How Gamer Advantage caters to the unique needs of gamers.
- Overcoming obstacles in establishing Gamer Advantage as a reputable brand.
- Striking a balance between innovative and practical in product design.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
