The SPARC Effect
You know that warm and relaxed feeling you get when sitting around a campfire, trading stories with friends? There’s power in those stories—whether they’re funny, poignant, life-affirming, or surprising—to bring us closer together. They connect us, live within us, change us, and help us grow. We call this The SPARC Effect.
Welcome to our new podcast where we bring the power of storytelling to our own digital campfire. In The SPARC Effect, Travis Walker shares stories from our collaborative members, helping us stay connected as we learn and grow. We’re excited to launch this new venture to help support and unite our community. See you around the campfire!
