The Audacity of Potential

"Potential is just a fancy word for what hasn't happened yet."

In Episode 3, Rob dives into the "Bridge" transition—moving from the survival mode of the past into a future defined by the 100% Policy [cite: 2026-02-04, 2026-01-05]. This isn't about arrogance; it's about the Nerd Swagger required to stop apologizing for your space and start choosing "Option C"—choosing yourself [cite: 2026-02-04].

Inside this episode:

• The Starfleet Perspective: Why reclaiming your "10th-grade nerd" identity is a power move in the rebuilding process.

• No More Breadcrumbs: Breaking the habit of settling for scraps of validation and setting 100% boundaries [cite: 2026-02-04, 2026-01-05].

• The Detroit Horizon: Finding the audacity to look past the immediate struggle and toward the potential of what’s next.

• The 12-Year Hum: Recognizing the quiet consistency that comes after the chaos of a life rebuild [cite: 2026-02-03].

"Fortune favors the bold. No glitz. Just the work."

We live in a world that demands instant results, but rebuilding a life doesn’t happen in a microwave. In Episode 2, Rob explores the "crawl" of progress—from a 20-year journey to find his career footing to the peace of nurturing a slow-burn relationship. If you feel like you're behind schedule, this episode is your reminder that moving slowly is still moving forward.

Key highlights:

• The "Joneses" Trap and the Realism movement.
• Why we overestimate the year but underestimate the decade.
• Nurturing the spark vs. pouring gasoline on flares.

Welcome to the Season Two premiere of Rebuilding Rob: The Podcast.

We’re kicking off the new season by drawing a line in the sand. In this episode, I’m diving into the 100% Policy and why I’m officially done with "breadcrumbs."

Using a recent experience—the "Jessica" situation—I talk about the moment I realized that settling for less than 100% isn't just a compromise; it’s a setback. It’s time to stop asking "Which one do I choose?" and start choosing "Option C"—myself.

No more breadcrumbs. No more bullshit. Just the audacity of potential.

In this episode:

• The Jessica Story: A lesson in not settling.

• Defining the 100% Policy.

• Moving from survival mode to intentional boundaries.
