On this episode of Survive & Thrive 8791, I welcome Steve Gehrmann to the Buck & Honey’s remote studios. Steve, a self-published author with two books to his credit shares the real, unfiltered journey of writing and publishing his own work. His second book, “The Happy Zone” is a blueprint for achieving happiness in all aspects of life and he’ll talk us through the highs and lows of this creative process. That process was filled with self-doubt, questions, and breakthroughs that led to an enormous amount of satisfaction in July 2021.

But Steve Gehrmann’s story isn’t just about writing, it’s about a life of happiness that he has lived so far. He grew up in the small town of Sun Prairie, WI that laid the foundation for the passions in his life. From mischief and lessons learned to milestones that shaped who he is today, his ability to tell a story is as honest as it is entertaining.

After a college experience being on the radio broadcast for the 1991 Division III national championship game for his alma mater, the University of Wis-Platteville, Steve entered the radio business, chasing his passion for media and connection before pivoting into a career as a consumer loan underwriter. Through it all, one constant in his life has been a love for sports. A huge fan at heart, Steve spends much of his free time trying to get the next selfie with legendary athletes or entertainment icons. Each selfie with an amusing story.

Steve Gehrmann’s journey is an inspiring look at how an everyday person can turn their life into stories worth sharing.
