Summary

It's time to get personal. For this podcast, Rob does something a little different: He gives you a window into the real issues he's been dealing with for the past year and a half. Social media addiction, weight gain, depression — Rob covers it all, because he owes you, his fellow problematics, full honesty and transparency. And he knows many of his listeners deal with the exact same issues — especially coming out of a pandemic. We all face adversity and need to take responsibility for our lives. Of course, it's never easy, and we all stumble along the way. But personal responsibility doesn't mean always getting it right. It means holding yourself accountable and doing your best no matter what, especially when things get hard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
