In this gripping episode of Empowering Workplaces, host Sanja welcomes Rob Kalwarowsky—an MIT-trained engineer, former NCAA All-American, and author of the bestseller Capitalizing on Chaos: The Executive's Guide to Succeed in Disruption.

Rob opens up about his deeply personal journey from high-achieving "performance robot" to surviving a rock-bottom mental health crisis triggered by a toxic work environment. Today, he bridges the gap between raw human experience and cold, hard data to help leaders navigate the unprecedented uncertainty of 2026.
