The 5am Club with Rob Haff

When Ty Brunner notices the same familiar figure in the gym before dawn, curiosity turns into conversation. Meet Rob Hoff — a former military kid, a Comcast sales manager, and a gym regular whose day begins long before sunrise. Through anecdotes about his fighter-pilot father, a life shaped by routine, and the wake-up call of a diabetes diagnosis, Rob reveals how small, stubborn habits became the backbone of a life well-lived. This episode traces Rob’s path from Yokosuka to Spokane, from late-blooming athlete to the man who won’t skip a morning. It’s a story of resilience: learning to manage health with grit and consistency, reflecting on leadership learned at the kitchen table and the base, and the friendships and rituals that anchor him. Along the way Ty and Rob trade hard-earned lessons about willpower, legacy, and the quiet power of showing up. Listen as two ordinary men unpack the extraordinary: how an early alarm, a rowing machine, and honest self-reflection can reshape a day — and maybe a life. By episode’s end you’ll hear not just advice, but a lived example of how discipline, humility, and kindness create the people we meet.
