Best-Selling Author of "Live in Wonder"; Award Winning Filmmaker, "The Journey"
Eric Saperston Biography
Eric Saperston is a celebrated author, filmmaker, speaker, coach, and internationally recognized thought leader whose work bridges generations and sparks authentic human connection. His journey began with a simple yet bold idea: to travel across the country in a vintage Volkswagen van, cold-calling the most accomplished people on the planet to ask them out for a cup of coffee.
During his travels, Saperston sat down with presidents, Fortune 100 CEOs, rock legends, visionaries, and unsung heroes alike who welcomed him in and shared their most valuable insights, life lessons, and defining philosophies. These life-changing conversations became the foundation for his award-winning documentary, "The Journey" and his best-selling book "Live in Wonder."
What started as a personal quest for wisdom quickly evolved into a global movement to deepen relationships and elevate the way people engage with one another. Over the past two decades, Saperston has been invited to speak on stages around the world, coach executive teams, and consult with companies such as Disney, SAP, Apple and more. Saperston's ability to ask meaningful questions, draw out powerful stories, and find universal truths has positioned him as a trusted voice for leaders and organizations looking to ignite purpose, strengthen culture, and inspire courageous action.
Whether he’s working with corporate leaders, students, or social entrepreneurs, Saperston’s work encourages people not just to live a good life—but to live an extraordinary one, rich with connection, meaning, and fulfillment.
Saperston is the creator of "three things" game, "three things" series (where iconic voices share their wisdom in three minutes or less), and "three things" team building - a dynamic, interactive experience that energizes rooms and builds bridges across generations, teams, and organizations.
Through a guided, high-impact storytelling framework, participants share authentic insights that foster trust, build intellectual intimacy and increase collaboration. Saperston has curated the three things team building experience for global brands like Hilton, Virgin, and Amazon, where it consistently receives top marks for relevance, emotional resonance, and lasting impact.
