Participate is a platform where the world collaborates. We believe that people should be able to learn when, where and how they want. Great podcasts tell great stories, and our partners at Participate have stories to tell. We’ll talk to them about what they do, how they do it and why it’s important. We’ll also talk to them about how they’re building their community and the ways they’re helping us all learn together.Follow us!Instagram: @insideparticipateTwitter: @participateFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Participate-Inc-320098865296027/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/participate-edu/Join Mike Washburn and Dr. Julie Keane of Participate as they speak with Mark Otter, the CEO of Participate.
