• Delete I found a few book reviews for his first book, published by Jossey Bass, "The Intuitive Compass":
  • The Intuitive Compass: Why the Best Business Decisions Balance Reason and Instinct. CIO Insight. 2011;(120):32 (One paragraph)
  • Andrew Keen - TechCrunch. Keen On. Francis Cholle: Why Entrepreneurs Should Trust Their Guts (TCTV). Chronicle, The (Centralia, WA). November 6, 2011. (two paragraphs)

That book is held in >600 WorldCat libraries; however, the only "bestseller" list I glimpsed he was at #72.

His second book is self-published (Squirtle Academy) and shows up as in exactly one library, plus I don't find any reviews of it. I also don't find anything about his academy or about him. Blurbs relating to his first book say that he teaches at Wharton but I see no sign of him there. Lamona (talk) 23:24, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and above discussion. Upon Googling, I found a single Today news article from 2017 about him; otherwise, I only see blogs and other unreliable sources. A quick review of social media show zero tweets and even zero likes of tweets about him. On LinkedIn, he has about 6200 followers, not a huge amount in the scheme of things.
