Rob Rene’s life has been shaped by sudden impact and unexpected mercy. A Division I runner with a clear plan, he was hit by a truck during a winter training run and nearly died. That moment changed everything. Years later, he built a successful career in enterprise technology sales, while quietly battling addiction and watching his wellbeing slip.

Then came another turning point: the pandemic. Rob’s job changed, his time opened up, and he began researching health, faith, and what it means to live with intention. That season helped lead him into sobriety, a deeper relationship with God, and a growing passion for practical wellness strategies and responsible health information in an AI-driven world.

In this conversation, you’ll hear Rob’s full arc, and you’ll also walk away with a simple set of daily practices that make health feel doable again.

What happens when your drive to win collides with the reality of the life you’re actually living?

In this episode of Your Next Success, Dr. Caroline Sangal is joined by Chaz Wolfe, serial entrepreneur and founder of Gathering The Kings for an honest conversation about identity, ambition, and building a life that can actually hold your success.

Chaz started working at 12, and was buying seven-figure franchises in his 20s. From the outside, he was the definition of a high performer. But along the way, there were quiet wake-up calls: almost missing the birth of a child, seeing a family photo he wasn’t in, and realizing that “I’m doing this for my family” didn’t match how it felt inside his family.

We talk about:

• “Grateful but not done” — the mindset that lets him stay ambitious and grounded
• Why entrepreneurs don’t need less drive — they need more intention in every area of life
• The origin story of Gathering The Kings and why he built a true peer-to-peer mastermind
• How faith, family, health, and business fit together when you want to win in all areas

If you’ve ever felt that tension between loving what you’re building and wondering what it’s costing you, this conversation will help you pause, reflect, and re-align.
