Hello, world, and happy holidays to you and yours from the Discover Your Talent podcast team.

Our gift to you this week is encore interviews of some of the most popular shows from the last 12 months.

We hope you enjoy them, and we look forward to sharing the journeys of more fascinating guests in the coming year.

So almost every day I had to get over that fear of approaching people I don't know and asking them where I can sleep,

asking them where I can find food, and building that nervousness

up to a point where I realized the more vulnerable I was, the more willing people were to help me.

I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Eric Severson.

Welcome, Eric.

Happy to be here, Don.

Thank you.

Eric, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

Absolutely.

All righty.

We want to hear that whole story.

Eric Severson has lived an amazing life.

From hitchhiking from London to Central Africa to living with a remote Indian tribe in the Amazon to building and selling businesses,

he has forged a path filled with

extreme adventure and success. He recently published a book called Ordinary to Extraordinary,

revealing his personal search for meaning and highlighting how anyone can create a life of purpose

and success. His focus is business development, English language training, and he

lives by the idea that helping others is the best way to create both success and fulfillment.

Well, that's a summary of your remarkable career, Eric. Tell our listeners around the world
