Robert is a friend of mine who has inspired me by everything that he's overcome and gone through in his life. Funny thing is our relationship started with me coaching him but what I got in return was way more inspiration I could imagine. Robert shares his courageous story of learning to run again after having uncontrollable bowel issues while running. He persevered through his issues and didn't let shame or what others thought of him from becoming the best version of himself. I hope this episode inspires you to take action and not let fear or shame stop you! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sparkzofcourage/support
