Navy Veteran Robert Wheeler Built a Hit Podcast From Scratch—Here’s His Secret—Robert Wheeler | Ep27

In this episode, I sat down with Robert Wheeler—Coach Rob himself—a Navy vet, mindset coach, and the voice behind the Battle Harder podcast. Rob’s journey from military and law enforcement to battling PTSD and building his personal development brand is nothing short of inspiring. We dug deep into the real-life challenges of launching and growing a podcast, the power of authentic storytelling, and why consistency (not perfection!) is the real secret sauce. Rob shared his process, the lessons he’s learned, and how podcasting has been therapeutic not just for him, but for his guests and listeners, too. If you’re thinking about starting your own show or need a reminder to just “put in the reps,” this one’s for you. I hope you leave this conversation feeling empowered to turn your own pain into progress and keep showing up for yourself and your audience.Connect with Robert WheelerTo learn more about Coach Rob, listen to his podcast, read his blog, or shop his merch, visit battlefittedbrand.com.
