Episode 236: Summertime Rewind with Ecosystem North

This summer we’re taking a short break from airing new podcasts to revisit some of your most downloaded podcasts over the past 5 years at Rochester Rising. Today we’re sharing the very first episode of our Ecosystem North podcast, aimed at telling the stories of entrepreneurial ecosystem builders. This podcast was hosted by Collider Executive Director Jamie Sundsbak. I was honored to join in the conversation last July 2020 as the very first guest. Listen into the conversation today to learn more about the creation of Rochester Rising and the very early stages of Collider Foundation.
