In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Eric Epstein, President of Global Impact Productions, a full-service event production company that produces outdoor challenge peer-to-peer fundraising events on behalf of select non-profits. Eric kicks things off by sharing his unique journey into the non-profit world (spoiler alert: his first job was as a science teacher!). Eric introduces us to the ‘Platform for Engagement’, an insight-driven, integrated, branded fundraising program that will have you thinking differently about your events. Amy and Eric talk candidly about how they've been influenced by Dan Pallotta and why giving space for participants to have their own experience is worth gold on event. Make sure you listen until the end to hear a hilarious story about Eric's first time using a bullhorn; you'll be laughing out loud! We love Eric’s willingness to be vulnerable and get real, and you will too. Get ready to meet your new event bestie!To connect with Eric, head to www.globalimpactpro.com and click on Contact Us.
