EVENT Mar 22, 2023

What do entrepreneurship and Mount Everest have in common? MindFrame Connect is thrilled to invite you to a one-hour session with serial innovator and entrepreneur, and the author of Scale Your Everest, Erik Severinghaus. To note, the discussion will be followed by a brief Q&A period.

Meet Erik Severinghaus

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 Mount Everest in 2018). He is proudest not of the trophies on his wall memorializing his 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 the Kellogg School of Business and an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina.
