Description
After college, Eric Saperston bought a 1971 Volkswagen Bus, took his golden retriever Jack, and set out to follow the Grateful Dead and work a ski season in Aspen, Colorado. Challenged by his mentor to make his trip more meaningful, Saperston decided to call up some of the most powerful people in the world and ask them out for a cup of coffee. Saperston's summer vacation quickly became four people’s vocation. This team of eager travelers meandered across the country, from Atlanta to Seattle. They bought a video camera, shot 500 hours of footage and interviewed more than 200 people in search of wisdom and inspiration from the famous and not so famous. These interviews resulted in a development deal with Walt Disney Studios, an award winning feature film, speaking engagements and a tour with a rock star. He will captivate his audience by telling these stories about the search of the meaning of life.
