What does spending six years aboard a nuclear-powered attack submarine teach you about pressure, discipline, leadership, and resilience?

On this episode of The ToosDay Crüe, we welcome U.S. Navy Veteran Rob Robertson, who served aboard the USS Louisville (SSN-724) and earned his coveted submarine dolphins while operating in one of the most demanding environments imaginable.

Life beneath the surface demanded teamwork, accountability, discipline, and the ability to perform when failure wasn’t an option.

But Rob’s story didn’t end when he left the Navy.

After military service, he built a career in management, security, and operations, earned three college degrees—including a master’s degree—and three black belts, and spent years teaching martial arts while helping others build confidence, discipline, and leadership.

Rob has also experienced challenges familiar to many veterans, including significant service-connected disabilities and the realities of adjusting to life after the military.

Through it all, he developed a powerful perspective:

Resilience isn’t about avoiding hardship. It’s about adapting, persevering, and continuing to move forward.
