When Marine combat engineer Rob Jones stepped on an IED in Afghanistan, his life changed forever. But instead of breaking, he rebuilt—stronger.   Rob shares his journey from losing both legs in combat to winning Paralympic bronze, cycling across America, and running 31 marathons in 31 days—all to prove that strength isn't about what happens to you, but how you respond.   From battlefield lessons to fatherhood and leadership at Echelon Front, Rob reveals the mindset that carried him through pain, purpose, and perseverance: you don't quit until the mission's complete.   If you've ever faced something that felt impossible, this episode will remind you—you can't always choose what happens to you, but you can always choose what you do next. 0:00 Intro 0:51 The moment it happened 3:12 Growing up on a farm and finding discipline in the Marines 6:42 From college dropout to combat engineer 10:04 What the Marine Corps really teaches you 13:51 The IED blast that changed everything 21:40 Turning recovery into purpose 25:18 Discovering the Paralympics and winning bronze 30:44 Meeting his future wife at the Games 33:52 From rowing to cycling across America 37:11 31 marathons in 31 days 42:01 From "broken heroes" to unbreakable humans 46:10 Leadership, Jocko Willink, and finding new purpose at Echelon Front 53:00 Countdown to Impact Resources Mentioned: 📚 Extreme Ownership – Jocko Willink & Leif Babin 📚 Olympian (formerly Assault on Lake Casitas) – Brad Alan Lewis 💻 Gym Jones philosophy – Mark Twight writings Connect with Rob: 🌐 https://www.robjonesjourney.com/ 🌐 https://echelonfront.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/RobJonesJourney/
