Eric Saperston has spent the last 25 years cold-calling and taking the most successful people in the world out for a cup of coffee to discover the common traits, motivating factors and guiding principles which enable everyday people to produce extraordinary results.

Driven by the adage, "To know the road ahead, ask those coming back." Eric wanted to better understand what separated ordinary achievement from legendary success.

With that premise, Saperston hit the open road, living in his Volkswagen bus, selling grilled cheese sandwiches at rest stops while cold calling the most successful people in the world and taking them out for cup of coffee.

With humble beginnings, tenacity, resourcefulness, and a genuine desire to learn from successful elders, drove Eric to interview thousands of business leaders, pioneers, visionaries, rockstars and legends and to become the leadership expert he is today.

Walt Disney Studios turned Eric's life story into an award winning feature film, The Journey. He's written a bestselling book Live In Wonder and has been a featured guest on The Today Show, CNN, CNN Headline News, PBS and has been interviewed and published in The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Spin Magazine, Fast Company and National Geographic.

For the last two decades, top tier industry leaders like SAP, Gartner, and Hilton Worldwide trust Eric to share his refreshing blend of leadership lessons, motivating stories and tactical teambuilding experiences to audiences around the globe: giving millions of people the tools to produce extraordinary results and living more meaningful lives.
