“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.

Another recent guest, Michael Margolis, told me I had to check out Erin’s work around storytelling, because she changed his mind about the power of social media.

Erin is an author of multiple books, was named a Forbes Inspiring Female Founder to Follow in 2012, she has been an online video host for Butterscotch.tv, and co-hosted the Macgasm video podcast.

Erin has controlled her destiny as the founder of her businesses for over a decade, she will teach us how to get your audience to make an emotional deposit into your project so they become fans for life!
