#260: Extreme Ownership with Rob Jones

Hey, Scuttlebutt listeners. Thank you for joining us and for your continued support. This week, we welcome Rob Jones to the scuttlebutt. Rob is a retired Marine combat engineer who was wounded in an IED attack and lost both his legs. Rather than succumb to despair and depression, he asked, what’s next? What was next was him winning a bronze medal in the 2012 Paralympics, riding his bike across America in 2013, and running 31 marathons in 31 consecutive days in 31 different cities in 2017, all of which raised nearly half a million dollars for veteran charities. He wrote his memoir, Put Your Legs On, released in 2025. Rob talks to us about his path to the yellow footprints, his experiences and motivations recovering from combat, and his current projects as a Leadership Instructor at Echelon Front focusing on extreme ownership.  

Enjoy!
