Ep.13 - Robbie Bent - The Dad Strength Podcast

Robbie Bent joins Geoff Girvitz on The Dad Strength Podcast.

Show Notes

Robbie Bent’s entrepreneurial journey is legendary. His career began with private equity and hedge-funds. But he was chasing the wrong kind of recognition and success. By his mid-20s he was struggling with addiction and a failing startup. After crashing completely, he reset his life. Meditation, psychedelic medicine, and other inner-work changed things completely. Meanwhile, he began working full-time for the Ethereum Foundation. During this period, he began to explore breathwork and the benefits of hot and cold exposure. What began as a way to socialize in a healthy way rapidly grew into a community. For Robbie, it was clear that there was a greater need for this type of inner-work. This led to the creation of Othership.

This interview takes us through his journey and into the heart of a rapidly growing startup. As a bonus, it also includes a guided breathwork session.

What is The Dad Strength Podcast?

There is no strength like dad strength. It is quiet, patient, and persistent. Some would say stubborn, dammit. Dad strength rarely makes the highlight reel. It exists in the in-between spaces....The times when nobody—except maybe your kid—is watching.

The Dad Strength Podcast was created to support and encourage the best in dads like you. Authors, entrepreneurs, artists, and experts from all over share their wisdom with us. We discuss 360º health, doing work that matters, and—of course—fatherhood. These conversations are fun, informative, and always emphasize action and understanding.

The Dad Strength Podcast is hosted by Geoff Girvitz. Geoff is a father, fitness expert, and curious fellow. Based in Toronto, he has been featured in Vice, GQ, and multiple exercise publications. He is known for innovation and real-world success in the fitness industry. Now, Geoff is pointing a wide-angle lens at health and parenthood. Workouts and nutrition are just part of the program. He will be looking at relationships, critical thinking, motivation, and discipline. In short, anything you need to earn the mug that says “*World’s Greatest Dad.”*

“I want to be Mr. Rogers for men over 30,” says Geoff. “There is so much noise and confusion out there.” We *all* need a community devoted to the best we have inside of us. The Dad Strength Podcast is here to make the world a better place through our roles as fathers and as men.
