Meet Erick Rheam, one of the top speakers in the world.

Erick served in Bosnia as platoon leader of the Second Military Police Platoon, the Wolfpack Platoon, of the 536th Military Police Company. While on deployment there, he witnessed untold horrors at a World War II  level of genocide.

Upon his return to the US, he failed his wife, rejected his daughter, threw out his father, and was suspended from work.

Through it all, he learned valuable lessons about how to "Rise Above Chaos", which is the title of his book. 

Along the way he learned about purpose, taming the beast inside all of us, and how to create our own perfect day.

I am privileged to have had this opportunity to interview him.

An interview with 2x Olympic Champion and 2x World Record Holder Donovan Bailey!

Donovan talks about his amazing Olympics experience and how he overcame a bad start in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, filtered out the distractions around him, and became the Olympic Champion.

His mindset was clearly different from others: "I had to change the mindset, and the attitude of all of those guys, and frankly the entire track team." Donovan was extremely competitive, promising to fight his teammates on the track once if they lost.

Although known as a fierce competitor, he was also a great teammate and recalls the times he helped his teammates through difficult circumstances.

An interview with the passionate - and hilarious! - Robert Esmie, a Gold Medallist and World Champion at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He ran the first leg and raced with Glenroy Gilbert, Bruny Surin, and Donovan Bailey.

"I'm on top of Carl Lewis I head off him right. 80 meter! I say I feel his long legs start coming through my sideview mirrors right. And then boom, crossed the line. I went 10:23. He goes Who are you? I said THE FLASH. He said this is the fastest and hardest I've ever run in a quarter."

"With the lessons, and I've always said, no matter what I do in life, job, sports, whatever, everything that I do, everything that happens, must have a purpose must have a meaning."

"And that's part of the haircut. Because I know when they can see the haircut, I know they're gonna laugh. I know Donovan (Bailey) is gonna call me a clown and slap me as usual. Although he may do that, on my mind, is where I wanted him. Because I saw the fun piece. And the relaxed piece that I'm looking for. "

"Everybody sees Robert as a clown and someone that idiot because he's the kid. I'm the youngest of the team. So he's the kid, but they don't see the logical side of my planning process as a child coming all the way through everything that I'm doing. there's a there's a plan and process for success. Right. And it's a great thing is when I'm working with these young athletes, and that's why I always say let's train the mind first before the body."

An interview with Katie Vincent, World C-2 Champion and Bronze medallist.

Katie has an incredible mindset and she tells us about how she writes her own story, refusing to allow external factors to define her. Amazingly, she won the Gold and Bronze at the World Championships while she is sick with shingles. She also solidifies a berth for Canada for the Tokyo Olympics under a cloud of uncertainty surrounding her racing partner, Laurence Vincent-Lapointe.

An interview with Olympian & World Champion Bronze Medallist in the 50m Free - Brad Tandy of South Africa.

"I'd swam in the Olympic final the 50 freestyle, somewhere around the 480 to 500,000 times mentally over the years, just whether the race went well with the race went bad we are was everything in all these variables obviously changed. And I've only done it once in my career. So visualization is a huge part in in kind of paving the way for both success and failure and dealing with it."
