Today’s episode is a follow-up to two previous episodes with one of the show’s favorite guests: my dad, Gary Ervin. My dad has been on a journey for the past six years to climb the highest mountains in each of the seven continents, known as the Seven Summits. In today’s episode, he is back to discuss what he learned after doing the sixth summit, Carstensz Pyramid.
Listen is as my dad shares the powerful mindset that has allowed him to take on this challenge at over 60 years old. You’ll learn how to craft your own happiness and how it’s an active pursuit. (My dad nearly froze to death for his happiness!) You’ll also discover the power of documenting your path and asking yourself “how did I get out of this in the past?” in order to build new possibilities for yourself today.
