About this episode

Rob Sirstins was born into poverty, adopted young and rose to become a Division 1 football player with a sales career. Injury, betrayal and loneliness brought him to a night in a Salt Lake parking lot where he nearly ended his life.

He chose to live. He and Mike talk about healing, community, the four pillars of healthy masculinity he teaches, and wealth as freedom and belonging.
