Rob Lilwall was a high school teacher who, in need of a new direction, decided to walk across Siberia. This was the start of an avocation that he parlayed into a profession. Rob’s story is about conquering fears, overcoming setbacks, building inner resilience and reaching for higher goals, whether it’s climbing mountain or closing real estate deals.

“One of the great things about an expedition, which just simplifies life so much, is you have one very, very clear goal.” 

ABOUT THIS WEEK'S GUEST

Rob Lilwall, Adventurer

Rob started his career as a high school geography teacher in England, but has transitioned into a career of adventuring and motivational speaking. His expeditions include a three-year expedition cycling from Siberia to London, a solo walk across the Taklamakan Desert and cycling across the U.S. Across his adventures, he has learned that our abilities are not fixed, and that we can grow in many ways, including to become more positive, courageous and resilient, especially when put in positions outside of our respective comfort zones.
