What this episode covers
Eric Plantenberg focuses on enriching the lives of others through his own multi-faceted life. Eric is the co-founder of Freedom Personal Development, has created a retreat called Abundant Living, and is now the "Core Values Ambassador" of Kombucha Mama. And -- by the way -- he's also done significant humanitarian work around the world, summitted Mt. Everest from the north, taken a three-year travelling honeymoon with his wife Michelle, and completed the IronMan Triathlon four times. In this episode of A Congruent Life, Eric shares compelling stories and profound reflections from his life journey so far, including: what he learned from a river guide about focusing his energy outward, how embracing his job as a dog treat salesman opened unexpected doors, about starting a long-running business with his friend, by pooling cash in a shoebox, how a professor panned his business plan and advised him to "just go get a job," the importance and interplay of passion and authenticity in pursing goals, giving yourself permission to live the life that you really want, and what that's looked like in practice for his own family, honoring intuition and internal wisdom when considering big life transitions, the profound value of "starting with why," the difference between authenticity and positivity, lessons about passion and persistence learned from climbing Mt. Everest, and how pursuing authenticity requires effort and intentionality.
