267: Rob Eastman: Stand and Fight For Your Life

A Utah-based entrepreneur and community leader, Rob Eastman combines his passion for transformational change and willingness to take risk with his organized approach to solving problems and his ability to activate people to create superior results.

His life experience helps him cover a wide range of issues we are currently facing in our schools and communities. Through his addiction recovery Rob is able to use his failures as an amazing guide for change for parents, youth and the community at large. He addresses tough issues related to religion, addiction, bullying, suicide, and politics – topics most people avoid talking about.

Rob currently hosts the “Stand And Fight Podcast” and runs his lifestyle gym in Centerville Utah, where he also leads his non-profit 501c3, the Eastman Family Recovery Foundation.  

In today’s conversation with us, Rob shares his struggle with addiction and the journey leading up to his 10-year anniversary being clean and sober. We discuss some of the biggest issues that young people are facing today, and how he is helping them discover their identity and place in the world. Life isn’t easy. Rob equips kids and families with the life skills necessary to stand and fight for their life, because it’s worth it.
