Greg Gerik sits down with people who actually changed something — and gets them to admit how it really went down.
Elevationals is a podcast about the rare ones who met the challenge in the moment.
Greg sits down with people who actually changed something — their career, their community, their life, their company — and he gets them to admit how it really went down. Not the LinkedIn, rose-colored-glasses version. The real one.
“Anyone can tell you they succeeded. Almost nobody will tell you at what cost, the challenges, the failure and the journey to get there.”
It’s a series of unglamorous decisions made while everyone around you offered advice, tried to pull you back, or gave you every reason to quit. These are stories that skip the highlight reel and the grams because that’s where the real work happened.
The failed first attempts, and the nights they almost threw in the towel.
The relationships that strained under the weight of choosing the hard thing.
The unglamorous decisions made alone, while everyone offered a reason to quit.
“What did it take, and who did you have to become to pull it off?”
The best episodes come from people who changed something real. Share the essentials below — we read every pitch personally and reply within two business days.

Greg Gerik is the host of Elevationals. His interviews are known for moving past rehearsed talking points to the real arc of how transformation happens to emphasize the moments most people leave out of the story.
