Excerpt from Medium -- "'Having participated in theatre productions for most of my life, I began to notice how prohibitively expensive production costs can be,' founder Jackie Kroeger explained, 'Theatres often build all their production materials from scratch, and then once the show is complete, these expensive costumes, sets, and props often go in the trash or are stored somewhere, unused.'"

Excerpt from Medium -- "Stern has a collaborative culture, and it has been great to see the creativity, business results, and relationships that can grow in that environment.

This realization was further supplemented by the social impact business core where we focused on thought leadership and communications' – Samir Goel ...
