  • Eric Recker - Lessons Learned From Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, The Difference Between Achievement vs. Fulfillment, How To Avoid Burnout, And What It Means To #WINtheNOW

    Joining TJ on the Adventurous Entrepreneurs Podcast today is Eric Recker.

    In this episode, Eric explains the keys to living a life of fulfillment, not just accomplishment. He has worn numerous hats throughout his life – husband, father, dentist, elite success coach, pilot, speaker, author, mountain climber, and triathlete. However, it was at the pinnacle of his achievements that he realized he was climbing without purpose. The lessons from his own journey led him to a commitment: helping others bridge the gap between where they are and the best version of themselves.

    In the first half of his life, Eric was driven by the grind, always reaching for the next peak. Triathlons, mountain climbing, a thriving dental practice, and extensive travel were his pursuits, but he discovered that true meaning wasn't "out there."

    The second half of his life is dedicated to teaching people how to live in the present and find a life of fulfillment. Through coaching, speaking, and writing, Eric's mission is to help people #WINtheNOW.

    Through the forced closure of his dental practice due to COVID-19, Eric realized he hadn't been present in his own life. The concept of #WINtheNOW was born from this reflection, offering a solution to the "epidemic of distraction" that plagues us all.

    Eric passionately equips high achievers, individuals who have achieved worldly success but crave more. He helps them clarify WHAT is truly important, WHY it matters, and HOW to create a plan filled with hope for better days ahead.

    Eric's journey from being bullied during his formative years to becoming a relentless striver resonates with many. He understands the burden of trying to be the best in everything and is committed to helping others find the freedom to live authentically.

    Burnout nearly led Eric to sell his successful dental practice, but he discovered a path to overcome it. Now, he's dedicated to assisting leaders, entrepreneurs, and medical professionals in breaking free from burnout and living their best lives both at work and at home.

    Just a few of the golden takeaways Eric shares in this episode are lessons learned from climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, the difference between achievement vs. fulfillment, how to avoid burnout, and what it means to #winthenow.
