On September 11, 2025, the IEE had the pleasure of hosting Jared Orton, President of the Savannah Bananas, as the speaker for our monthly Member Event. Orton shared how businesses can go beyond transactions to create loyal, lifelong fans. The session was full of powerful insights for business leaders—but rather than list them all, we’ll let our IEE members tell you what resonated most with them.
“It’s not about the first inning; it’s about the long game!”
“Love your fans. Love your people. Love yourself.”
“Listen carefully and respond creatively.”
“In short, love your fans!”
“It’s about the long game: building trust, strengthening relationships, and creating experiences that last.”
“Expect something different – and dare to do something new!”
“Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.”
“Coach, don’t boss.”
“Normal decisions = Normal results!”
This event exemplified the impact of our member programs—bringing forward thought leadership and practical insights that empower leaders and fuel business success. Want access to more opportunities like this? Learn more about membership below.
