“I met Yarrow a couple of years ago when I was first invited to attend a HATCH Summit. What transpired over those four days was life-changing. I met many talented, creative, entrepreneurial individuals with whom I resonated, who were dedicating themselves to foster a better world. And that’s what Yarrow does best – connecting people to HATCH a better world. The network he has created has had such a deep impact on my life, and on the lives of countless others. I cannot think of a better person to receive the 2019 AudFest Impact Award and I cannot wait to honor one of my heroes.” – Paige Williams, Founder/CEO, Audience Awards + AudFest
