Doing What Scares You | Rob Lipsett | TEDxGriffithCollege

Rob Lipsett shares his story of pushing himself through his own fear, pain and society’s expectations to now be at the top of what he does - personal training and fitness advice on YouTube. Rob Lipsett found his passion for fitness through rugby. Starting out at 12 years, he soon realized as he got older how he preferred the actual training and pushing his own boundaries over playing rugby. After becoming a personal trainer, more and more people kept asking him for advice, until he set up a YouTube channel. Less than a year later, Rob had become the biggest fitness YouTuber in Ireland. Today, he is the get-go person for over 250k followers on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube who follow his fitness advice. Rob shares his story of pushing himself through his own fear and pain and society’s expectations to now be at the top of what he does.
