Get ready to meet Eric Plantenberg – a former bookman who has gone on to build an international beverage company with principles he learned selling books. In this episode, he shares his journey with us, along with the lessons he's learned along the way.
Based just down the road from us in Bend, OR, Eric is the co-founder of Humm Kombucha, a thriving company that's making waves in the beverage industry. He's also ventured into personal development with Roger Seip (featured in episode #109) and has a few exciting new projects on the horizon.
As a four-and-a-half-summer bookman, Eric has some fascinating stories to tell about his time selling books, and he shares how the elemental principles of Southwestern Advantage set him up for a successful career post-books. He also talks about how failures along the way have shaped his life for the better.
