Join me on a journey of embracing all of life, so you can live far beyond what you can imagine.
ABOUT
If you’ve ever felt lost on life’s inevitable tough, difficult days, you aren’t alone.
Like many of you, my life has been one of both struggle and joy. I lost my childhood at age 8. By 12, my mother had died and I was responsible for raising my two special needs brothers, and then at 26, my father passed away.
But through the hard times, I’ve learned how to discover the more by embracing the difficult. Though I’ve struggled, my life now is beautiful.
I know that no matter how much hurt you’ve experienced, yours can be, too.
PODCAST
About the Drumbeat of Life Podcast
The demands of life and society are ever-changing and our world is spinning faster and faster. Sometimes it feels like not only are we expected to live in this world, we’re expected to balance it all and conquer it all. On top of that, we’re supposed to take “me time” at the end of each day to tend to ourselves.
Are you exhausted yet? Yeah, me too.
So, how do we do it all? Do we really need to do it all? How do we find inner peace for ourselves when our world feels far from peace? That’s what we will explore by having REAL conversations with a wide variety of servant leaders about their drumbeats.
A drumbeat is what keeps someone motivated, keeps their joy alive, and what fills their cup every day, week, month, or year. Drumbeats can come from philosophers, therapists, fry cooks, religious teachings, or personal experiences. You and I, dear listener, will learn how to implement these drumbeats to better our own lives and relationships.
There’s a beautiful drumbeat inside of every one of us. Let’s discover it together.

SPEAKING
INVITE DONJAY
Being invited to speak at your event is both an honor and a responsibility. I need to bring the energy. I need to connect with the audience and I need them to trust me because I will be challenging them to reflect inward. But reflecting inward can be tough so I also need to inspire and give hope. I need to show each and every one of them that they are up to the challenge and ready for the call to action.
In order to do this I need to prepare. I must envision who is sitting in the chair, what their fears are, as well as their hopes and dreams. Being on your organization’s stage isn’t a place for me to stick out my chest and strut. To be a great speaker I must be confident, but I must never forget, I am your servant.
“DonJay Rice approaches both life and storytelling with passion, integrity, and joy. He engages his audience in a way that educates and inspires, and he sincerely wants the best for every person in the room. He’s a gift to any event.”
– Kimberly Stuart, Author and Podcaster
“DonJay brings a connection and compassion from the stage that makes you feel you’re having coffee with a dear friend. As he delivers inspiring stories about his two special needs brothers, you understand the engine behind his love, empathy and vulnerability. DonJay’s honesty about his struggles is a voice and message that is missing in today’s world. You will be inspired to seek a new level of personal courage, love, and learning.”
