Furthermore, in an effort to reach students, academics, and professionals around the world, Eddie helped develop, write, and host a twelve-part YouTube video series on supply chain management that now has over 4 million hits. This series is used at universities around the world as well as Fortune 500 companies to evangelize the power of supply chain management.
