Ever thought about what it takes to find peace and joy after hitting rock bottom? Eric Plantenberg’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In this episode of 'Cracking Open with Molly Carroll', Eric shares his extraordinary journey from a small farming community in South Dakota to the top of Mount Everest.
Eric's life has been a series of incredible highs and devastating lows, but through it all, he has found a way to grow and thrive. Eric’s upbringing in a tight-knit family instilled in him values that have guided him through his life's challenges. He opens up about his time in prison for a tax misdemeanor, a period he used for deep reflection and personal growth.

He shares his philosophy on humility and serving others, emphasizing that true happiness comes from within and from helping those around you. His story is not just about overcoming adversity; it's about finding purpose and joy in the journey.
