With stories from his own life and a little wisdom from Einstein, he challenges you to find one thing you love talking about and start teaching it today. Because when we teach, we all find our way back.

Put On Your Oxygen Mask First

In this heartfelt episode of The Way Back, Robby shares how his struggles with social anxiety and poor communication in his dark days passed “monkeys” like fear of crowds to his kids and strained his marriage.

Packed with practical tips, like a one-minute mindfulness practice and Barbara Fredrickson’s 3:1 positivity ratio, this episode inspires men, women, young, and old to own their issues and show up for those they love.
