On the next episode, my guest has a career story that ranges running tech start-ups, grinding at IBM, owning pizza franchise and writing a book. His name is Erik Severinghaus and he talks about the highs and lows of his journey, and why those life lessons propelled him to the top of Mt Everest.

Erik has his first book coming out in May called “Scale Your Everest: How to Be A Resilient Entrepreneur” and he shares some of the inspiration for writing the book in our discussion. He also talks about how he used his experience at IBM to polish his business skills and apply it to other companies he would start later in his career. The discussion includes great insights about the difficulties and hardships of being an entrepreneur, and how to overcome some of the most difficult moments.

Whether you are looking to start your own company or just contemplating your next steps in your career, Erik shares strong insights and perspectives about why being resilient can lead to success in any type of career journey.
