What’s on your Mind? | Ep. 382 from Chapel Service
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
Who’s fired-up and what’s on YOUR mind? Today, we are going out to one of my favorite speaking engagements of the entire year for the podcast. I recently went over to my great friend and mentor Pastor David Jeremiah’s school and delivered a chapel service to over 1,000 kids. The chapel at Christian Unified schools was revitalized over 7-years ago when Pastor Jeremiah breathed new life into it. It has since become a weekly highlight for the kids. I’ve been honored to speak at chapel 2x per year for the last 7-years and I love connecting with these kids and bringing some energy,...

ABOUT Eddie Hertzman(Guest):
Edward Hertzman is a serial entrepreneur who has launched multiple businesses across several industry verticals including media, fitness, wellness and sourcing. He is also a subject matter expert who has become the voice for the industries he has served. An early-stage investor in promising startups, he has contributed to their growth and value creation.
His latest venture, Athletech News, is a response to the fitness industry’s need for community, representation and a seat at the table. Much like sourcing more than a decade ago, fitness and wellness has been a fragmented, under-valued, and under-reported industry, with little transparency into the robust investments occurring in the space, or the dynamic leaders that drive these businesses. Athletech News answers to this need.
Prior to Hertzman’s latest venture, following several years on the ground as a supply chain executive, Hertzman founded Sourcing Journal in 2009. Today, Sourcing Journal is the world’s largest trade publication devoted to sourcing and supply chain in the apparel and textiles industry. In 2017, Hertzman sold the company to Penske Media Group. He remained on board as President for 5 years, during which time he was promoted to EVP of all Fairchild Media Titles, tasked with growing their portfolio of publications, while continuing to lead day-to-day operations at Sourcing Journal.
In 2023, Hertzman left Penske to launch his next media enterprise, Athletech Media Group. It has quickly become the media of record for the fitness and wellness industry with more than 60,000 subscribers signing on since its debut. Hertzman continues to consult for several retail and supply chain companies and through his company, Hertzman Global Ventures, he has made targeted investments in both PE funds and supply chain tech companies including Active Source Lab.
Hertzman is also a sought-after speaker, sharing his expertise at leading industry conferences and events. His innovative leadership has helped shape the way the industry approaches sustainability, commercial compliance, and global sourcing strategies.
Hertzman received a degree in economics from NYU and spent more than a decade working in top-level executive positions for major sourcing companies worldwide, including Synergies Worldwide and Pearl Global. He also sits on the Board for Delivering Good, a charitable organization that channels the resources of the fashion industry to those in need.
