Today we're sharing an episode of a podcast that shares our mission to move the needle - Inside Impact with Alisa Herr.

Christopher Gergen's first entrepreneurial venture—a coffee shop bar in Santiago, Chile—was impactful, but more impactful was the man who walked in and introduced himself as a "cultural entrepreneur." In this episode, hear how that first project inspired him to support founders and transform entrepreneurship in the Triangle as a Founding Partner of Forward Impact Solutions.

Moving the Needle is hosted by Christopher Gergen & Johnathan Holifield, and is produced by Earfluence.
