Ep426: Tackling Toxic Leadership with Executive Coach, TEDx Speaker, and Author Rob Kalwarowsky

Rob Kalwarowsky is a globally recognized executive coach, TEDx speaker, and author of the provocative book Antidote for the A$$hole Boss. Widely regarded as a leading expert on toxic leadership, Rob helps high-performing entrepreneurs and executives transform their leadership from the inside out—so their teams (and lives) can thrive. Before stepping into the world of coaching, Rob spent over a decade as a reliability engineer and asset manager in mining, oil pipelines, and heavy industry consulting. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, where he was also a three-time NCAA Academic All-American in water polo. After overcoming a toxic workplace, severe burnout, and a personal mental health crisis, Rob radically reinvented his life—moving to Costa Rica, coaching Olympic athletes and Fortune 500 leaders, and guiding others to reclaim their power through self-leadership. His work integrates cutting-edge psychology with real-world leadership strategies, helping clients scale not just in revenue, but in fulfillment. Rob’s mission is simple: better leaders, better lives, better world. Connect with Rob: Website: robkalwarowsky.com LinkedIn: Rob Kalwarowsky Check out Rob’s Book: robkalwarowsky.com/book
