Erik first learned of entrepreneurship starting at a young age when his older brother took him caroling to earn a few coins by leveraging his boyish cuteness. While most kids fully concentrated on school work and hanging out with friends, Erik took many different entrepreneurial pursuits during his grade school years. In one of his pursuits, he built a company with a valuation of $250 million.   In this episode, Erik shares the journey of his entrepreneurial pursuits and how making a lot of money did not result in an inspired and fulfilling life. He also shares his insights on the importance of making a meaningful contribution and a simple framework on how to get started even if you are living paycheck to paycheck as an employee.   Erik Bergman is a co-founder of Catena Media, a company that went from 0 to 300+ employees in five years. Under this journey Erik made more money than he will ever need in his life, but at the expense of burning himself out, as well as his both business partner and his fiancee that also worked in the company. Now he has started the company Great.com. This time the focus isn't extreme growth but rather well being, transparency, trust and flexibility for the team and where 100% of the profits will be donated to help the environment.   Connect with Erik here: Website: https://great.com/ Podcast: https://great.com/becoming-great-podcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erik.bergman/   Do you want to advance and get ahead in your career?
