E18: Developing an Innovation Ecosystem – Collecting & Connecting the Dots

In a milestone episode, Ben brings our first two guests from outside Atrium Health into the Sherpa studio, Amy Chiou (former Executive Director of Queen City Forward) and David Phillps (founder of innovation consultancy Faster Glass). If you’re someone who’s not satisfied with the status quo, you’ll enjoy hearing about Amy and David’s extensive experience fostering innovation across a community. And no, David did not misremember Bad Idea Jeans!
