In this episode of Simply Satisfied, host Greg Danielson sits down with Coach Rob Tracz for a raw, grounded, and deeply reflective conversation on what it really means to live a life that feels simply… satisfied.
Rob shares the story behind his evolution—from fitness coach to life mentor—and how loss, burnout, and personal reinvention shaped his philosophy. Together, Greg and Rob explore the power of boundaries, the balance between discipline and joy, the grip of perfectionism, and the quiet courage needed to slow down, reflect, and choose a life that feels aligned.
This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t always about grinding harder—it’s about knowing yourself deeper, embracing the seasons you’re in, and finding the middle way between comfort and challenge.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a creator, an athlete, or someone in the thick of personal development, this conversation will hit home.
