They Call it Evangelist for a Reason Eric Wright at Turbonomic — EP012

In today's episode, we have the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with the great and fantastically unique Eric Wright. Eric is the Technology Evangelist at Turbonomic, and he shares with us his passion of building a community and engaging with them. Giving with no expectations while having faith that this generosity will be returned in the long run are two main themes that come up for Eric, both in his personal and professional life. This mindset has helped him develop a strong gut instinct and ability to show the impact of intangible efforts to Turbonomic's internal team. And wait — there's a twist! Turbonomic does not have a traditional advocacy program, and it's on purpose. Eric shares what the Green Circle Program is, and finally gives us his forecast on the upcoming future for influence marketing. We appreciate and admire the energy, generosity and thoughtfulness he brings to everything he does!
