This Episode

In today's episode, we listen to author and entrepreneur Erik Severinghaus. Having recently released his book Scaling Your Everest, he very openly shares with us the difficulties he faced with stress, overworking, and even suicidal thoughts. However, as he began to explore the concepts of success, goals, achievement, fulfilment, and more, he decided to go on a journey that taught him about a new path for entrepreneurs. He shares with us what having an Everest means to him and some of the most impactful perspectives, learnings, and stories from his recently released book. This is not an episode to be missed!

Today's Guest

Erik has summited the highest peaks of the business world (selling four companies for hundreds of millions of dollars) and the physical world (successfully climbing Mt. Everest in 2018). He is proudest not of the trophies on his wall memorializing the accomplishments, but of the scars he has accumulated overcoming both the external obstacles and internal trap of self-doubt along the way. Erik released his first book on May 18, 2021. Scale Your Everest is a guidebook for mental health, resilience and entrepreneurship. Erik has an MBA from Kellogg School of Business and an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina. He lives with his wife and daughter in Chicago.
