From the cramped hull of a nuclear submarine to surviving a near-death slide off a glacier in the Italian Dolomites, Rob has mastered the art of "controlled chaos" to reach elite levels of performance.

Rob shares how his military training helped him "tactically" take on Vegas, survive a 323-mile ultra-marathon, and why he treats every single day like "Day Zero." As the Crew Chief for theRide (Matt’s grueling Mexico-to-Canada cycling expedition), Rob explains the systems he uses to eliminate complacency and keep a high-performing team moving when things get "convoluted and distorted.
