Paul talks to Eric Ressler, the founder and CEO of Cosmic, a social impact creative agency designed to help organisations to create real change by maximizing their impact through design, brand awareness and action.
Eric talks about the role that technology is playing in changing the world, and the positive impact that it can have upon making society better.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many believe that people of a certain age are put off by technology, and the speed at which innovation is happening, but this is a generalisation that Eric has found to be untrue.
Social media and similar channels are constructed in a way to be addictive to humanity. We are encouraged, not always through positive means, to interact often, and once snared into its grasp, it can be difficult to escape.
It is difficult in today’s society, to develop a career without some element of technological interaction. But technology must be seen as a tool to empower free information.
If organisations take steps towards leveraging digital as a platform, embracing it as a core element to their business and shaping their culture around it, it can help to move their message forward in incredible ways.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Digital and the internet and technology is shaping and changing culture and connecting us more, globally’
‘It’s not whether we can or we can’t. It’s whether we believe we can’
‘We’re seeing technology and the internet really transform culture completely’
’It really starts with an idea about a better future and what that looks like'

ABOUT THE GUEST
Eric Ressler is the Founder and Creative Director at Cosmic, a Social Impact Creative Agency. Cosmic empowers social impact organizations to catalyze real world change by helping them nail their impact story, build brand awareness, and inspire action.
By and large, the traditional strategies and approaches in the social impact space are still based on what worked well in the pre-digital era. This leaves many organizations under-resourced, siloed, and struggling to reach their full impact potential – because they are not leveraging the power of our current global digital culture. Cosmic helps future-thinking social impact organizations understand this paradigm shift and rethink their model and approach to multiply their impact.
Eric got his start in design from a very young age, and after leaving a design program in San Diego early to pursue freelance work, cut his teeth running a freelance business in the digital design space. After organically building a strong roster of clients, he discovered a passion for the social impact and philanthropic space. Through working with numerous organizations across this sector, he found that often their missions and visions are strong, but their efforts are stymied by ineffective communications philosophies and practices. Now, Eric and Cosmic are on a mission to help social impact organizations across the globe navigate a rapidly changing world.

ABOUT THE HOST
One thing that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – something he is totally aware of. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned the iconic ‘Think Different’ Apple commercial narrated by Steve Jobs in 1977:
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do!”
Paul has a long and distinguished history of coaching & mentoring – particularly focusing on helping people make the transition from pain to purpose; a journey he has made himself, from the depths of a deep dark existence, to now living a life of happiness and prosperity.
Through this Mastering The Game Of Life podcast, and books he has been involved in – including being a best-selling co-author – Paul also helps others to get their own inspirational messages and stories out into the world; as well as offering support to many charitable organisations, in their development & fund-raising.
