What happens when childhood challenges shape our beliefs and actions as adults? In this episode, I talk with Mike Robbins—author, keynote speaker, and executive coach—to explore his deeply personal journey of resilience, self-discovery, and leadership.
From growing up without a father to battling depression at Stanford, Mike shares the pivotal moments that shaped his outlook on gratitude, diversity, and connection. Our conversation dives into the power of self-awareness, embracing vulnerability, and fostering authentic conversations in an increasingly divided world.
We explored:
- Mike’s early memories of parental separation and its lasting impact on his identity.
- The unexpected ways childhood struggles influence our leadership and relationships.
- How depression became a turning point in Mike’s personal and professional life.
- The role of gratitude and self-reflection in overcoming adversity.
- Why compassion, curiosity, and open dialogue are essential for navigating social and political divides.
Mike’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of embracing life’s challenges with openness and courage. Whether you’re a leader, a parent, or someone seeking greater self-awareness, this episode will leave you inspired to reflect on your own journey.
Tune in for a conversation that challenges assumptions, sparks curiosity, and reminds us that we truly are all in this together.
