The Founder’s Story

Erik Seversen wasn’t a great student growing up, but he loved to write. Beginning as a teenager, he wrote short stories and experiences from his life. These were often on scraps of paper and often left unfished as he moved on to the next adventure before completing the narratives.

In his 40s, Erik began compiling the true-first person narratives that he had written. He then began finishing those not completed and writing out other true first-person narratives about his life adventures. These narratives ended up becoming the book, Ordinary to Extraordinary, published in 2018.

As the book took off, Erik was asked to do more and more public speaking appearances, leading him to leave his executive position within a company to speak full time. This was January 2020, and the speaking went well until COVID-19 caused the cancelation all of his speaking engagements. This drove Erik back into books.

Since 2020, Erik has completed two solo books, Explore and The Magical Lightness of Being as well as 12 co-authored book projects each dealing with mindset, success, and peak performance. Every single one of these became an Amazon bestseller.

Erik is a Ted X speaker, university lecturer, and adventurer who has reached over one million people with his public speaking and live courses. He’s visited 99 countries around the world and all 50 states in the USA. Erik’s goal is to change the world, and he realizes that story is one of the best ways to do this. Erik’s mission is now to help other people change the world through their stories by helping them write, produce, and publish their own books. As a start, he’s helped over 300 people become bestselling authors.
