On October 19, 2017, for the first time ever, “The FM Innovator Nation” gathered during IFMA's World Workplace in Houston, TX. On this episode of the podcast, Mike Petrusky recaps the "live podcast experience" with a play-by-play of the amazing line-up of guests that made this inspirational and motivational event such a special one. First, Mike shared his story of dealing with the rapidly changing marketplace and the need for all of us to step outside of our comfort zones. Then, Andrea Sanchez of Spark Story gave an inspirational talk which was followed by live interviews with Dr. Jake Gunnoe, Robert Kleimenhagen, Jr., CFM, SFP, Elizabeth Dukes, and Peter Ankerstjerne. Tyrel Melville, FMP, shared a report from the Caribbean Nations and offered a moving call to action for FMs and Kay Sargent of HOK delivered a virtual presentation on "The Big Shift" taking place in the transformational workplace.
