In this episode, Erick Rheam introduces his new keynote talk, The 21st Mile - Run Your Race and Win at Life.
Life can feel like a grind. Like running a marathon it can feel almost impossible at times, especially when done alone. Studies show that up to 89% of working Americans experienced burnout within the last year. Burnout is costly for employers since it costs up to four times the employee’s annual salary to be replaced.
The American culture, or the rat race, has taken its toll on the average working family and forcing most to sacrifice their ability to not only thrive, but forced most into survival mode that’s not sustainable.
This highly motivational and educational talk pulls from my lifelong passion and success through running as I share the lessons learned about sacrifice, loss, humility, teamwork, and how to develop a willingness to grind for the experience to cross the finish line, but more importantly to learn to embrace the journey.
I share a compelling story of the lessons learned about some of the deepest issues in life, family, and legacy while running over 30,000 miles, and the transformation that can occur in anyone’s life at the 21st mile.
