In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Eric Gremminger, CEO and Co-founder of ERP Health.

Eric reflects on his early life in Pennsylvania, the creative influence of his upbringing, and his first entrepreneurial venture blending fitness and psychology. What began as a passion project—helping people recondition their mindset through physical training—laid the groundwork for a deeper mission rooted in behavioral health. Eric also shares his unconventional path back to college in his mid-30s after overcoming addiction, highlighting how self-awareness, discipline, and a commitment to growth became the foundation for everything that followed.

From knocking on treatment center doors with pen-and-paper assessments to building a nationwide healthcare technology platform, Eric walks through the evolution of ERP Health and its impact on addiction and mental health treatment. He recounts landing his first customer during the uncertainty of the pandemic and how that moment validated years of persistence. More importantly, Eric reveals what truly drives him today—not big wins or contracts, but the steady impact of changing lives through better care. 

Be inspired by Eric Gremminger’s journey of rebuilding, purpose-driven work, and creating real impact in this episode of The First Customer!
