Creating Change in Work & Life with Stephen Robles

Every man has to figure out what to do for work, but more than just a job, a man’s work is how he communicates himself to the world and makes a positive impact. So what happens when you find yourself in a position that doesn’t do that for you?

Video and podcast creator, Stephen Robles, was in such a position years ago. Now, his YouTube channel continues to grow - surpassing 100,000 subscribers in late 2024 - and he continues to try new things, like his new tech podcast, Primary Technology.

In Stephen’s words, whatever it is that you want to try or need to do, you have to start now, cause you will regret not starting later.

In this episode, Stephen shares how he changed directions in his life and work, how he made the decision and the challenges that came along with that, and how others can figure out if they may need to make a similar shift.
