If you’re in a rut and need some inspiration, listen to Erik Weihenmayer.
Weihenmayer was the keynote speaker at the Greater Des Moines Partnership’s annual meeting on Jan. 26. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller “No Barriers,” a book about his adventures as a blind man kayaking through the Grand Canyon. He also was the first blind person to summit Mount Everest and went on to complete the Seven Summits, the highest points on each continent.
