In this episode of Wake Up with Patti Katter, host Patti Katter welcomes Amy Robbins, the CEO and Co-founder of Alexo Athletica and a dedicated advocate for women’s self-reliance, firearm safety, and empowerment.

Amy shares her journey from hosting lifestyle TV shows to recognizing a gap in the market—the need for stylish, functional activewear that allows women to carry with confidence. As an avid runner who experienced safety concerns while training, Amy obtained her License to Carry and quickly realized that traditional options for concealed carry in athletic wear were uncomfortable and impractical. In 2017, she founded Alexo Athletica, providing a solution that merges fashion, function, and personal security.

Key Takeaways:Connect with Amy Robbins & Alexo Athletica:

Rob Sarver grew up in a military home—his father served in the U.S. Air Force—so service was part of his DNA long before he ever put on a uniform. A 2004 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy (after transferring from Virginia Military Institute), Rob began his career as a Surface Warfare Officer and went on to earn his place among America’s elite as a Navy SEAL with SEAL Team 3. Across seven deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, he led through chaos, carried heavy responsibility, and earned multiple commendations including the Bronze Star with combat “V.”

But the toughest mission came after the battlefield. When Rob transitioned out of the military in 2013, the sense of clarity and purpose that once defined him vanished overnight. He has spoken openly about the mental, emotional, and professional challenges that followed—navigating identity loss, the weight of expectations, and the long process of rediscovering his “why.”

That journey became the foundation for his next chapter. Today, Rob is Co-Founder of Servius Group, a boutique intelligence and risk consultancy serving both corporate and government clients. He’s also the Co-CEO and Co-Founder of The Heroes Journey, LLC, an organization helping veterans, spouses, and families write the next chapter of their story after service—through workshops, storytelling, and the acclaimed Warrior to Civilian Field Manual.

A Wharton Executive MBA graduate, Rob now merges battlefield discipline with business insight. He speaks nationwide on transition, resilience, and leadership—helping others navigate the gap between who they were and who they’re meant to become.

Inside The Vault Expert, Rob opens up about growing up in a military family, surviving the fall after service, and how building Servius Group and The Heroes Journey helped him reclaim purpose—proof that even after the mission ends, the story isn’t over.

After losing three jobs and nearly everything he had, U.S. Army Veteran Eric M. Wohlwend turned the last of his savings into his first real estate investment — a decision that would change the course of his life forever. Within two years, he and his wife had rehabbed, rented, and refinanced 20 properties, achieving financial freedom by the age of 30.

Two decades later, Eric has repositioned and rehabbed over a thousand properties, built multiple successful companies, and mastered the art of creating systems that eliminate, automate, and delegate work—giving him more of what money can’t buy: time with his family.

Today, he controls hundreds of residential and commercial units, speaks across the globe, and co-authors best-selling books with his family. His kids began buying real estate at just seven years old—without their parents’ money or credit—and one became a millionaire by fifteen.

In this episode of The Vault Expert, Eric unlocks how he built multiple streams of income across real estate —and how anyone can start building Time Freedom and Location Freedom today.

He’s living proof that wealth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about choice, legacy, and living life on your own terms. From rehabbing homes to flying private planes with his family, Eric shows what’s possible when you integrate Family, Business, and Investing into one purpose-driven life.
