Rob Scheer tells his heartbreaking story about how, against all odds, his abusive childhood became the catalyst for his life’s purpose.Loree talks with Rob about his decision to “go rogue” in a manner most people wouldn’t consider as rogue, but how doing so freed him from a past that continued to negatively affect his wellbeing and future.When finally fulfilling his life-long dream of becoming a father, Rob discovered that foster kids still show up to homes the same way he did over 30 years ago — with their meager belongings in a trash bag. Mortified, Rob was driven to found Comfort Cases, a charity whose mission is to inspire communities to bring dignity and hope to the over 400,000 youth in foster care in the US.Rob’s story is a remarkable demonstration of overcoming hellacious circumstances and rising to one’s highest potential. He is a lovely example of the unbreakable human spirit.
