"I'm in a passionate love affair with life!" - Erin Blaskie
It all started back in 1980's when her dad gave her a commodore 64 computer. She would play business with her sister, where she got to be the CEO and her sister the secretary.
Today we have the fun and engaging Erin Blaskie as a guest on the Art of Adventure Podcast to explore the world of brand storytelling.
