Grow With Ro

On today's episode I talk about the benefit of and purpose behind consuming personal development content. These reasons include: 1.

Find the blueprint, follow the steps, and achieve the same greatness. 2. Keeping the tools at the f...

On today’s episode, I discuss two concepts that my mindset has shifted on. The first one being the idea that all men cheat, which gave no room for personal responsibility, and the second being the idea that cohabitation prior to marriage is an important step and will tell you a lot about whether or not you two are compatible for marriage.  Changing your mind on things is a reflection of personal g...

On today's episode, I debate Growth vs Peace when it comes to relationships. Which is more valuable and worthwhile--a relationship where you learn WITH one another THROUGH the relationship?

Learning stuff is hard. Especially stuff that is completely unfamiliar, not just a new variation or progression of something you already know how to do! Not many people talk about this.
