The Real CEO - My Wife | Fireside America Ep. 80 | Kelly Robbins

My most special guest to date!  My wife, Kelly, stepped outside to site fireside as we often do, this time with cameras rolling.  She shared her story from childhood to present, going deep on her father’s motorcycle accident that changed her family forever, pursuing her master’s degree, our first date, a general outlook on motherhood, marriage and more.  She has been my rock since day one and the biggest supporter of all these ventures I am chasing down, for us!  To know Kelly is to love her and I hope you enjoy getting to know her as much as I do!

Jason Bitzer is a New Jersey native turned Hawaii transplant who competed as a professional bodyboarder on the historic North Shore.  Jason is the founder of “Never Off Duty”, a non-profit that offers underprivileged, at-risk kids a pathway to emergency services such as lifeguarding, fire sciences, EMT and other civil servant career opportunities.  Now back in New Jersey, his most important mission is giving his 3.5 year-old son, James, the best care possible as he battles Stage 4 Neuroblastoma.  Entrepreneurial at heart, Jason is still chasing down his dream to build a concierge-level wave pool for surfers here at the Jersey Shore, while also training East Coast lifeguards to become elite practitioners.  Jason is a class act and easy to root for.  Alongside Fireside America alumni Emma Lipnicky’s Liv Like a Unicorn Foundation, we are committed to helping the Bitzer Family navigate this new wave along with other families in similar circumstances.  Check out the links below for information on how you can get involved.

Turning Wieners Into Winners | Fireside America Episode 75 | David LaTempa
