Eric Francis: How community and connection shape success
Episode description
How do relationships shape our careers and the communities we call home?
In this episode, I sit down with Eric Francis, a well-known sports columnist and analyst with Sportsnet. We talk about his journey from the Calgary Sun to Sportsnet, how his love for sports turned into a career, and the big moments that shaped his path—like covering the Olympics and Tiger Woods during his prime.
Eric also shares why Calgary feels like a city of opportunity to him, the unique sense of community here, and how he’s giving back through the Eric Francis Pizza Pigout, an annual event supporting KidSport Calgary. It’s a fun mix of stories, insights, and reflections on sports, media, and the power of connection.
