Episode 62 - Rob Howe: 'I would adjust the way I spoke to myself'

'Be intentional with every moment of your life.’

Ohhh we’re playing in the big leagues today! Rob Howe - entrepreneur, former professional basketball player and founder of the Diabetics Doing Things Platform is today’s podcast guest.

A seasoned podcast pro with over 1 million downloads to his name, we talk about everything from school rumours that he’d died (!) after being diagnosed at the age of 16, to being vulnerable in order to bring people together, to maintaining discipline and intention in all aspects of your life - including of course, with type 1 diabetes.

I particularly loved Rob’s thoughts on how our perspectives can shift over time - you don’t have to feel the same about your diabetes forever, or even from one day to the next.

This is a solid hour of wise words from a man with a really big heart and a whole lot of focus. Warm and calm and thoughtful, Rob is exactly the type of person I’d want around in a crisis - diabetes-related or otherwise! But make no mistake, Rob is an achiever - as a business owner, athlete and someone who spends a lot of his life in service helping others living with type 1 diabetes feel better about what we’re dealing with. I love his ethos of community, creating change and making sure no one is left behind.

PS… get your sleep!
