Turning Setbacks into Superpowers with Rob

Ever wondered if life’s curveballs could be your hidden superpower? In this episode, I’m hanging out with Rob—fitness entrepreneur, Shut Up and Grind podcast host, and basically a human energy boost. He’s the youngest of seven athletes, a former stutterer who now owns the mic, and a high-jump legend who smashed records after being told he’d flop. His story’s a raw, wild ride, and I’m stoked to dive in with him.

Rob’s got this vibe—competitive but chill, less “all about me” and more “let’s level up together.” He started a fitness gig in his garage during a recession and pumps up uni kids and shy dream-chasers to find their spark. He shares unreal stories—like helping a writer with Asperger’s land dream jobs or turning a shaky pitcher into a total star. Rob’s all about vision, hustle, and grit, and I’m here for it.

I love how he flips the script on that “uni, job, retire” trap, seeing gold where others see nada. Oh, and his “emotionally bulletproof” take? It’s stuck with me big time. If uni’s got you dizzy, self-doubt’s sneaking in, or you just need a shove, Rob’s journey might just be the fire you need.
