Rob Jones: Surviving Hard Hits and Leadership in the Field

To Watch The Show:    / @workreadypodcast   To connect with Kevin Rindal: https://www.instagram.com/kevinrindal... I sit down with Rob Jones—U.S. Marine Corps combat engineer turned double above-knee amputee, Paralympic medalist, endurance athlete, and Echelon Front leadership instructor—to translate battlefield lessons into job-site tools for workforce athletes. Rob breaks down his “Survive • Recover • Live” mindset, how to turn “I can’t” into “I can’t yet,” and why great crews “proof the lane” by going first and clearing hazards. From clearing IEDs in Afghanistan to rowing for Team USA, biking 5,180 miles across America, and running 31 marathons in 31 days, Rob shows how purpose, humility, and even humor keep teams engaged so safety and performance actually stick. If you work in the field—lineman, operator, gas, T&D, warehouse—this conversation gives you practical ways to perform at your best, lead without a title, and go home strong for your family.
