On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures

Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.

Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create. | However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic. Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY. | Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans." | This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic. | If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!

Managed Rideshare Events ™ Ground Transportation
Managed Rideshare Events ™ Ground Transportation
Worldwide
Event Transportation. Rethought. Managed Rideshare Events gives you a smarter way to handle group transportation — without the gaps. Whether you need a luxury sedan for a VIP arrival, an SUV for the executive team, a van for staff and extended family, or a last-minute ride when plans change, we coordinate it all through a single managed account. From elite vehicles to EV options and autonomous services like Waymo in select markets, every tier of your group is covered. Managed Rideshare Events™ is not a traditional ground transportation company. We are a managed rideshare program provider — designing and administering customized Uber, Lyft, and many other rideshare voucher programs for event planners, associations, corporations, and institutions. We serve the space between small companies (who handle a few vouchers directly) and large enterprises (who have internal travel programs). Our clients need a dedicated, professionally managed rideshare solution for event attendees — separate from internal corporate accounts. Key differentiators: Voucher-based rideshare management for rides, food, and deliveries Serves SMBs, associations, educational institutions, and mid-market corporate events Truly global coverage through rideshare networks — unlimited fleet, 24/7, local languages and currencies 30–50% cost savings vs. traditional ground transportation for comparable vehicles Ideal for staff, attendees, job candidates, and large distributed crowds Not a fit for high-security, VIP, or motorcoach needs — but often a secondary solution for this type of event.

I’m Zach Alexander, an artist and musician based in the Atlanta area. Often compared to Michael Buble, John Mayer, and Jason Mraz stylistically, I combine an eclectic mix of classic songs from a variety of decades and genres with a relaxing, coffeehouse jazz influenced approach that will perfectly complement your next event in a way that is subtle yet engaging. I am a regular performer at St. Regis, Waldorf Astoria, Intercontinental Buckhead, and Atlanta Apparel, and play at corporate events for various hotels throughout the Atlanta area such as the Whitley, The W, and the Ritz Carlton. as well as dozens of galas, clubs, and wedding venues. This year, I performed for Arthur Blank’s Super Bowl party with Lilac Wine Trio in New Orleans, and just 2 months later, was invited to perform a solo acoustic set for The Masters and its VIP guests at an event sponsored by IBM in Augusta. I have a complete audio setup and an diverse musical repertoire that will satisfy virtually any demographic. Please feel welcome to reach out and discuss your performance needs so that fill your event with tasteful acoustic arrangements of the classic songs we all know and love.
