What does it take to rise from rejection, loss, and pain—and turn it into purpose, passion, and power? In this episode, I sit down with Robert B. Foster, a speaker, coach, and founder of Shut Up and GRIND, who’s redefining what it means to overcome.

From being told he’d never succeed to becoming an international speaker, Robert’s journey is steeped in resilience, deep introspection, and unstoppable drive. His story is not just one of personal transformation—it’s a masterclass in using adversity as fuel.

Some key highlights we explored:

- How being doubted by a coach and later dismissed by a doctor ignited his lifelong grind
- Why Robert believes most people aren’t broken—they’re just buried
- A life-altering injury that forced him to rebuild his identity
- The fierce determination that drives Robert to rise no matter the obstacle
- The role of his father in shaping his resilience and work ethic
- How a daily practice of gratitude fuels his mindset, leadership, and joy

Whether you’re feeling stuck, doubting your voice, or simply in need of a spark, Robert’s raw truth and practical wisdom will reignite your belief in what’s possible. This episode is for the warriors, the rebuilders, the quiet grinders—and anyone ready to rise, lead, and live loud. Tune in and be reminded: the grind is where greatness is born.
