School teaches academics — but not the skills that actually create a good life. Rob Heller, entrepreneur and founder of The Boost Program, shares how he built and sold an insurance company, then turned his focus to equipping teens and young adults with people skills, character, and healthy mindset.
In this practical conversation, Rob discusses:
• What he wished someone had taught him in his 20s
• The 26 essential skills missing from traditional education
• People skills, character, and mindset as the three legs of success
• Why the next generation needs these skills more than ever
• Advice on phones, comparison, and building real confidence
If you’re in your 20s feeling underprepared for real life or wanting practical tools to thrive, this episode delivers clear, actionable wisdom.
