How We Impact the World with Eric Fransen
How We Impact the World really means, how do people from Lake County, MN make a difference in the world. I want to share stories about world-renown surgeons, entrepreneurs that are solving water issues in Africa, and travel with former residents that have gone back to their ancestral countries of Sweden, Norway, and beyond. All these people and many more grew up in Lake County and then went off to impact the world. I want to bring them back one week at a time. My name is Eric Fransen, and I want to tell their story.
