From Burnout To Alignment + Resiliency With Coach Rob Tracz (Part 1)

What if the grind that made you “successful” quietly stripped away your health, relationships, and joy? We sit down with high-performance coach and speaker Rob Tracy to unpack robot mode—the autopilot that looks productive but erodes your life—and how he rebuilt sustainable momentum by realigning identity, values, and goals.

Rob shares his path from collegiate athlete and strength coach to 17-hour days, seven days a week, and the painful wake-up call of losing time with his father before he passed. The turning point wasn’t a bigger hustle; it was a Friday night with an empty calendar and a hard look in the mirror. From there, he mapped a different path: public speaking to sharpen influence, daily reps to regain presence, and a simple system to make better choices when ambition runs hot.

We dive deep into Rob’s FLAG framework—Foundational values, Lifestyle alignment, Aspirations, Growth opportunities—and show how each pillar snaps your life and business back into place. You’ll learn to distinguish your true goals from expectations you inherited, audit your schedule so it reflects what you say matters, and choose growth levers that compound across every role you play. We also talk about seasons of life and why it’s okay to retire “should” values to make space for the person you’re becoming.
