Are you ready for the ultimate adventure? This episode tackles the peak of human achievement! We're joined by my dad, the one and only, Gary Ervin, as he recounts his awe-inspiring conquest of the Seven Summits. Only about 500 people in the world have completed such a quest and his retelling of the story is just as unique as he is. It's a story that will leave you breathless, exploring not just the physical challenges but the mental grit required to achieve the seemingly impossible. And not only is Gary facing life threatening obstacles, he’s jotting down every detail of his travels along the way - documenting lessons for his grandkids. Get ready for a deep dive into Gary's unwavering determination, the hurdles he faced, and the wisdom he gained that will propel you towards reaching your own summits.

In this episode, you’ll hear more about:

• Gary's motivations for climbing and the wisdom he passes on to his grandchildren.
• Discover how Gary persevered through a hip replacement, health concerns, and even a global pandemic.
• Explore the unique challenges of Denali's extreme weight requirements and treacherous climbs..

Although this episode seemingly is all about mountaineering, Gary has so much more in store. What he calls “lessons to my grandkids” are lessons and practices I think we could all put into place regularly. Do the hard things. Set goals and persevere. Embrace the challenge. And motivation can come from many places but the best motivation is created from within. Plus so many more!!

Permission to go for it, even when you’re insecure. Permission to feel your feelings and speak them aloud, even when they are difficult. Permission to not wear makeup when you just don’t have it in you to get it together that day. But sometimes, it just takes someone letting us know we CAN before we DO.
