Long Shot Leaders - How to Market Yourself or Your Business and Create a Social Impact

Listen to the Podcast

Cosmic aims to catalyze real-world change by partnering with social impact organizations to spark positive change in a rapidly evolving world. Michael and Eric discuss their efforts to deliver complex web and brand projects for local, national, and international brands, and how your biggest impact is the choices you made every day and how you run your business and treat your team, and the products that you put out.

“If you’re thinking about some kind of social impact angle, it helps if it has some kind of logical element and connecting thread between the core work that your organization does and the impact that it can have.”
