Born into an average, lower-middle-class family, Erik received no support from school counselors and others, but he didn’t let them crush his desire to accomplish amazing things. Erik also took life experiences, like rejection from his dream school, UCLA, and turned them into challenges to overcome. He eventually did get into UCLA.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Erik studied Anthropology and used it in business to help the company he works grow from a value of $7 million to over $100 million in 10 years. He also taught English as a Second Language for 10 years in Japan, France, Thailand, and universities within the US.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He has traveled to over 80 countries around the world and 49 states in the US. He has ridden a motorcycle on six continents and crossed the US on one twice. Erik also climbs mountains, having summited the highest peak of eight countries and five states. He even once had a machine gun stuck in his mouth in Nigeria.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>“You can have the best of the best working together, but to create that right thing and that recipe that really creates the right taste and the right success, there has to be synergy.”</strong></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Erik Seversen</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <h2><strong>Worst investment ever</strong></h2> <h3><strong>The perfect ingredients for a perfect business</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">
