Today I am talking to Frank Schwartz. He is the current president of F3. He is also an entrepreneur, but he started this journey by joining F3 with the intent of "not being fat anymore". The complete trajectory of his life would change, however, from that point. He caught the vision of Sua Sponte leadership and in not too long a time, he found himself being asked to help with things at the Nation level. At the beginning of 2020, he began serving as the first ever President of F3 Nation, under the re-organized F3 structure. Because of the dramatic effect of F3 on his life, he founded a leadership training consultancy in December of 2019, called G3L Leadership. G3L takes all the learnings from F3, as well as the training in communication, leadership, and Psychology that Frank has taken in his undergraduate and Graduate studies and puts it all together to help organizations create leaders. Frank has been a successful entrepreneur prior to his starting of G3L, founding LEC Media in 2007, a corporate communications and video firm in Charlotte, NC which served clients like, Bank of America, Electrolux, Honeywell, and others. He also serves in leadership in his church and community, is the husband of his far better half Tracy for the past 20 years and is the father of three wonderful red-headed daughters (ages 16, 14, and 10).
