Episode 77 discusses, Achievement, Fulfillment, & Burnout, our Guest, is Eric Recker, Founder of Win the Now.

Eric spent the first half of his life doing what he thought he had to do.  Putting his nose down and enduring the grind.  But it was never quite enough.  Through experiences with triathlon, mountain climbing, owning a dental practice with a team of 20, becoming a pilot, and extensive travel, he learned that what he was searching for wasn’t at the top of the mountain.

In the second half of his life, he is committed to helping people learn to live present in their own lives and find a life of fulfillment, not just accomplishment.  Through his coaching, speaking, and writing, he is working to help as many people as possible learn to WIN the NOW.

Dr. Eric Recker coaches and speaks to audiences of high achievers, who have had worldly success and, by all outside metrics, are killing it.  But they aren’t so sure.  

Success hasn’t necessarily translated to fulfilment, and they believe there is more to life.  

Eric, his wife Amy and their two kids proudly live in a small town in Iowa.
