Summary
Achieving balance requires discipline, practice, and a realistic framework. Over time, with consistent effort, you will find yourself getting better and better at it until it is second nature. The definition of balance, however, is very personal and different for every individual. It takes time and attention to understand what your version of balance is that makes you feel energetic in the various aspects of your life. Rob explains exactly how he evolved into his current state of balance and now keeps it going with ease.
Michael Wong and Alex Comfortes founded Peeka VR to get kids excited about reading again. They use visual technology to immerse children in stories with the goal of igniting their passion for reading and learning.

Justin Kershaw had spoken with Rob in 2020 when he was introduced by Outstanding Foods CEO and Founder, Bill “Billy G” Glaser. Rob couldn’t quite see the vision of Sow Strong Food back then. But that didn’t stop Justin. He went out and hustled to bring his brand to life, and Rob is incredibly impressed.
