Hailing from San Diego, CA, Eric Gunderson is a former professional racer car driver who get his start in the world of karting. By the time Eric was a teenager he was testing cars for an opportunity to race within the NASCAR world before eventually suffering from such severe burnout he chose to walk away. 

In today's episode, Eric dives into the aforementioned, starting his own business from the ground up and turning into a million dollar company, suffering from depression and stress, selling his business for a fraction of what it was worth purely to alleviate the stress, his fight with cancer, mental health, not wanting to exist anymore, and much more. 

This was a powerful conversation with a lot shared about parents raising their kids to be athletes, mental health, burnout, and the search for happiness that I hope many can find comfort and inspiration from. Thank you, Eric, for your transparency and vulnerability.
