Robert B. Foster is an award-winning international speaker, mental health advocate, author, and host of the hit podcast Shut Up and GRIND where he inspires guests to share their stories of trauma, survival, and defying the odds. He helps people heal themselves while empowering others having similar struggles.
Having overcome his fair share of past pain including divorce, doctors saying he’d never run or jump again, watching his father pass away, losing a job after 21 years, and being a single parent to 5 kids to name a few, Robert created his flagship program, Speak About Yourself Out Loud where he helps people take their stories from a place of pain to a place of power.
Public speaking is one of the top fears in the entire world and Robert is committed to helping thousands of people step into their power by embracing their vulnerability and sharing the messiest parts of their stories as well as how they got through it so they can become a global inspiration.
I became a writer because my life has been a series of experiences that shaped me into someone with a story worth sharing. I’ve faced doubts, hardships, and setbacks, and through those challenges, I discovered the power of resilience, self-expression, and prioritizing myself. Those lessons transformed me, and I realized they could help others do the same.
Writing became a natural extension of my passion for helping people—whether it’s through fitness, coaching, or speaking—because I want to inspire others to unlock their potential and face their fears head-on. My imagination and drive to show people how their struggles can become their greatest assets make storytelling the perfect medium for me. It’s my way of leaving a legacy and reaching those who need my words to spark their own transformation.
My writing style is motivational, authentic, and deeply personal. I write with a clear purpose: to inspire and empower my audience. Every sentence I craft is intentional, carrying a mix of vulnerability and strength that makes my message relatable and impactful.
I aim for a conversational and encouraging tone, as if I’m speaking directly to the reader, guiding them step-by-step through a journey of self-discovery. I strive to balance storytelling with actionable insights, blending emotional resonance with practical advice. This allows me to create a strong connection with my audience, making them feel understood and capable of achieving greatness.
In short, my style is the perfect mix of heart and grit—raw enough to be real, polished enough to lead, and always grounded in my own hard-earned wisdom.
