  • Finding Freedom Through Accountability with Robert Hunt
    Apr 6 2025

    Robert Hunt, also known as “The Accountability Guy,” is the co-author of Nobody Cares Until You Do. In this episode, Robert opens up about his journey—how he dug himself out of deep debt and a victim mindset by leaning into personal accountability. He breaks down the difference between just being responsible and actually owning your actions and outcomes. Along the way, he calls out some common traps we all fall into like blaming others, making excuses, saying “I can’t,” or just waiting around for things to change.

    Robert emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, even asking tough questions like, “Am I the common denominator in these conflicts?” He also talks about overcoming shame by separating your self-worth from your performance in work, relationships, or other roles.
