"Sometimes you take a trip; sometimes a trip takes you." --Eric Saperston

A Trip

In 1993, he graduated from college, hopped into a 1971 Volkswagen Bus with his golden retriever, and set off to follow the Grateful Dead. Challenged by his mentor to make his trip more meaningful, Eric Saperston decided to call up some of the most powerful people in the world and ask them out for a cup of coffee.
