Anyone know what is going on at FSJ? I was told by a friend who is a coach there, that within the past few days, they had fired Richard Garay who was the founder of the company. I always have felt he was the heart and backbone of the company.

I just asked my FSJ coach and she said he was a founder, but became creative director after he sold his interest to someone. I attended an event with my coach a few months ago and Richard came and did a demo. Talk about high energy!

On the Splitcoaststampers board, someone said that Spellbinders and 2 investors own FSJ. I've copied this from the thread:
"Basically he said he was told he was let go because of conduct and behavior. He wasn't following policy and procedure. He was going against the values of FSJ. There were things he wasn't willing to do and didn't agree with and it became difficult to work in that environment for both sides."
Someone also mentioned that he had signed a 3 year non-compete clause which he is now fighting.
Anyway, FSJ isn't even here in Canada, but I remember Richard from when he was at SU, so I found it interesting.

I noticed his blog is down too. I suppose he must be regrouping.

I'm a Journey Coach. He posted a letter today saying he "misused company funds for my own use. And it involved significant amounts of money."

OMG! You can say that again! I find it interesting they fired Dustin, but not Richard's wife.
