Battle Harder
The Battle Harder Podcast is for high-performing professionals who are carrying more pressure than they can ignore.
Hosted by Coach Rob, the show explores what happens when discipline, responsibility, and ambition go unchecked — and how to regain clarity, structure, and control before burnout, identity loss, or family damage becomes irreversible.
Each episode features real conversations with leaders, veterans, entrepreneurs, and high performers who have been tested by pressure and understand the cost of staying in the fight too long without restructuring their life.
If you’re driven, exhausted, and know something has to change — this podcast is for you.

The Lost Art of Communication and Why It’s Draining High Performers
High performers don’t burn out because they lack discipline or drive.
They burn out because communication quietly breaks down.
When communication becomes reactive instead of intentional, relationships suffer, homes feel heavier, teams struggle, and mental load increases.
In this episode, Coach Rob breaks down communication as a practical performance skill, not an emotional concept. You’ll learn:
Why silence creates stress instead of peace
How honesty and transparency only work when communicated clearly
Why high performers become overloaded communicators
How better communication reduces friction at home and work
Simple adjustments that restore clarity and energy
This episode is for leaders, parents, professionals, and first responders who want to perform at a high level without burning out or damaging the relationships that matter most.
If this resonated, it’s likely because you’re carrying more pressure than you should be carrying alone.
