Sober Talk w/ Rob

On this episode, I shoot straight from the hip and discuss the topics you guys have sent me. If you have done so already, follow me on Instagram: @soberrob1812. Shoot me a DM!

On this episode, I talk about the consistent trend of recognition for hard work. When we move into a new work environment or duty, we aim to always give 100% or even 110%. We get upset or disappointed when we do not get rewarded or recognized for our hard work and sacrifice when we go above and beyond to produce for others in the same team. What can we do to combat the urge to get pissed over recognition? Have we ever taken the time to congratulate ourselves? 

On this episode, I talk about choosing the right people to invest your time and energy into. Are these people pushing you to be your very best? We often grow up trying to be people pleasers to those who are willing to take but are never willing to actually be there for you when things go south. Setting boundaries and investing in yourself does not make you an A*shole. 

On this episode, I go into detail about how I got into running, lifting, and how I managed to train myself to become a better long-distance runner. I also talk about the "MAF 180" formula that you can use to give you a better understanding of how to maintain a consistent heart rate while doing so.

We all have those weeks where it feels like anything we are doing almost become purposeless and like we are walking a path of unfulfillment. Have you ever considered talking to yourself about it? Have you ever thought about those things that take you away from your purpose? It is something we all struggle with and sometimes, we need a reminder that as long as we just show up, things will fall into place. Persistence is key...

On this episode, I share my thoughts on the quote "Mind Over Matter". How our minds play such a negative role in our lives by consistently telling us to live comfortably. The mind has been the voice in our heads telling us not to do the things that make us better and hold us back from becoming the best version of ourselves. How can we build resiliency through our body and spirit?

When faced with adversity, how can you as a leader instill self-confidence within your subordinates/employees? I use this episode to talk about my experiences as a small unit leader and what I wish I would have learned, knew, and realized while trying to shape a successful future for those under my charge. As I speak on this topic, I want to apologize for being out of pocket for a while as I have been thinking of a good topic to talk about. I want to ensure this Podcast has substance for all listeners. A good quote I also forgot to mention in this episode is "Love your troops, but do not fall in love with them."

This episode I take the time to remember the Men and Women overseas who were killed in Kabul, Afghanistan. I share my thoughts as an active duty veteran on what we are all feeling after these events took place. In doing so, I also remember the lives lost in 9/11 and my time as a child who witnessed it live on TV. The following events after 9/11 such as Unity and America becoming one, regardless of Race, Sex, Religion, and Political standing.
