My experience has been just the opposite. I've enjoyed my corporate life, but I've achieved a much greater quality of life through my experience starting and growing three businesses. The weekly Impact Speaker Series is free and open to the public. Most of the events take place on the Georgia Tech campus on the first floor of the Wardlaw Building, located on North Avenue at the corner of Techwood Drive.
Parking is available under the building.
