What drives a 20-year journey in the fashion and sportswear industry? Join us as we welcome Rob, Chief Innovation Officer for Squat Wolf, who has also carved out a niche with his own design agency and academy. Discover how a school catwalk show ignited his passion for fashion, and how his love for Oasis led him to a pivotal university choice. Rob's story is a masterclass in balancing diverse roles and seizing serendipitous moments, all while reflecting on the academic and familial influences that have shaped his creative path.
In our second segment, we explore the emotional minefield of living far from family in the early 2000s, a time when communication was less advanced. Rob shares compelling personal anecdotes about adapting to life in Nuremberg, coping with intense homesickness, and the critical role that family support played in his journey. Alongside this, Rob delves into the duality of loyalty, sharing how it has enriched his life with deeper connections and the vulnerabilities it can bring when misplaced. This heartfelt conversation underscores the importance of loyalty, connection, and the collective consciousness shaped by shared experiences.
Our conversation takes a deeper turn as we navigate the intricacies of depression and anxiety, highlighting the importance of support and emotional resilience. Rob opens up about his unique experiences at Puma and Lululemon, linking personal growth with professional integrity. From the challenges and rewards of parenthood to the wisdom gained through varied life experiences, Rob emphasizes the importance of living in the present.
