Rewiring the mind | Rob Sweetman - S.O.S. #198

Can a Navy SEAL serve in our toughest military roles, launch multiple companies, speak hard truths, and still have the heart to lead a movement in wellness? Rob Sweetman is living proof.

In this episode, I sit down with Rob — a former Navy SEAL turned sleep scientist and founder of 62Romeo and Sleep Genius — who’s on a mission to radically improve how veterans, first responders, and high-performers sleep, recover, and live.

After serving with SEAL Team Seven and navigating injuries including PTSD and TBI, Rob took a pivotal turn into sleep science following the tragic loss of a fellow SEAL. What he’s built since then is not just science-backed — it’s soul-driven. Rob now speaks globally, leads retreats at Happy Canyon Ranch, and team lead for the NYC Navy SEAL Swim as a voice for warrior advocacy and transformation.

This is more than a conversation about performance — it’s about resilience, purpose, and staying the course when others give up.

We talk about:
 • Rob’s SEAL background and personal story of transition
 • The silent epidemic of sleep dysfunction in military and high-stress careers
 • How sleep and mental health are deeply connected
 • Leading from the front in wellness advocacy
 • The mission behind Sleep Genius and 62Romeo
 • Why Rob believes healing is the new warfare
