Thoughts from the Treetop

Since time immemorial, humans have used their imagination to fuel ideas and stories that describe the unexplainable. Starting with tales told within caves to live events being detailed to eager ears through a radio, people have relied on their minds to create vivid images and landscapes that transcend the real world. On today's episode, we will discuss what benefits can be gained from actively creating worlds and stories, whether it be for a tabletop game or simply through reading a book and the lasting effects it can have on us as we grow older. Come on up with us for another climb!

Since the early 1990s, fighting games have been a staple in the competitive gaming scene with time only increasing its influence over gamers. This recent wave of popularity surrounding video games has led to the creation of the "E-athlete". The fighting game community (FGC) has always appealed to the fiercest competitors and thus, its place within the gaming world will always be unquestioned. 

Joining us today will be Francy, who is not only an avid competitor, but pillar within the FGC community, more specifically the Street Fighter community. Today we will discuss her journey, what inspired her to become apart of the FGC, and what it means to establish herself as a female within a male dominated field.

On the very first episode of Thoughts from the Treetop, we tackle fitness. Joining us is our guest speaker Scott Schaedel, who is a Performance Specialist and has his finger on the pulse of the world's ever changing physical heartbeat. Come join us on the Treetop for a breeze and climb back down with a new perspective!
