When your phone rings, why do you answer it? Why do you NOT answer it?

This is a question Eric Recker has come to ask himself since he trained his mind and body to live in the "now," win every moment he can, and perhaps most importantly, learn from his losses.

As a successful dentist and founder of #WINtheNOW, he shares his transformative journey from childhood bullying to professional burnout. His story resonates with anyone who has faced challenges and setbacks.

Join us as we delve into:  

  • How burnout wreaked havoc on Recker's body but was a blessing in disguise as it forced him to take an honest look at his life and how he wanted to live it
  • How the concept of "false sense of urgency" runs in the background of many of our lives, depleting us of energy and joy without us even realizing it
  • How to shift from living in the past and future to living in the magical moments right in front of us
  • How to make small steps toward a new mindset that will revolutionize your life

In a world constantly pulling us away from the present, Recker's wisdom offers a refreshing perspective on finding joy and fulfillment in the here and now. Learn how to identify and seize those precious moments while embracing the inevitable setbacks as opportunities for growth.

Tune in as Recker shares his powerful insights on how to reclaim the present moment.
