#66 Why We Tell the Stories We Tell! | Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob

Hey hey, it’s Uncle Rob! 👋 It’s Friday, November 7th, and we’re back for another episode of Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob — the weekly space where I slow things down, reflect, and share a few stories from the journey of life, leadership, and entrepreneurship. This week’s episode is a mix of nostalgia, storytelling, and reflection — all sparked by my latest Entrepreneurial Thinkers conversation with my longtime friend Rocío Fonseca, Founder of DREI Ventures in Santiago, Chile. That chat took me right back to my years living and working across Latin America — the people, the culture, and the life lessons that shaped everything I do today. From an unexpected knee injury in Hollywood (yep, I’m recording this one on crutches!) to the origin story of how “Uncle Rob” was born on a rooftop in Santiago, to the deeper “why” behind the stories we tell on our shows — this episode brings it all together. If you’ve ever thought about taking a leap, reinventing yourself, or finding meaning in your work and leadership journey — this one’s for you. I share how my own midlife adventure of selling everything, moving abroad with just three bags, and diving into the unknown became the foundation for the community we’ve built here. So grab your coffee (or your favorite drink), settle in, and join me for a heartfelt conversation about purpose, connection, and the power of storytelling. 🎙️ Welcome to Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob — where every minute counts, even after the final whistle.
