Chiseled - We're all a work in progress - with Rob Commodari

The Chiseled podcast, hosted by Rob Commodari, is a biweekly show dedicated to fostering personal growth and self-awareness. Through candid conversations with guests from diverse backgrounds—including entrepreneurs, spiritual leaders, and individuals who have overcome significant challenges—Rob explores how life's experiences shape us into the people we are meant to be. The podcast emphasizes that we are all works in progress, continually being "chiseled" by our experiences to live our fullest lives. Launched in 2021, Chiseled delves into themes such as resilience, transformation, faith, and the pursuit of purpose. Rob's approach is deeply personal and spiritually grounded, often reflecting on how divine guidance influences our journeys. Each episode offers listeners insights and inspiration to embrace their own paths of growth and self-discovery.

Ron Tite is funny. The standup comedian-turned-business-consultant-turned-bestselling-author is, as they say in show business, a natural. He will have you laughing throughout this week's episode of Chiseled.

Ron's disarming charm is due not only to his comedic instincts but also his endless interest with the unknown. Growing up poor, he was surrounded by people who told him he just had to find work. But Ron wa...

OK, bias alert: This week's guest is my cousin, 31-year-old Chris Fusco, who owns Summit Fitness and Performance and is founder of the All-Mountain Athlete Project.

I admit I'm living vicariously through Chris. I've often thought of living off the land, so to speak, but that ship has sailed for me. For Chris, he's living on his own terms with no regrets.

See, Chris is a professional nomad. He splits his time between h...

For Marie Miller, that dream began at age seven. Raised in a musical family, she spent her childhood performing bluegrass, singing and playing both mandolin and guitar.

At 15, her father took her to Nashville. By 17, she had signed with Curb Records and later earned a No. 1 Christian radio hit with "You're Not Alone."

There's an adage that says when people reveal themselves to you, believe them. I like to add an adjunct to that: when someone tells you who he is trying to become, support him.

When Adam Buttorff describes himself as a "heathen," a "SOB," and "depraved," I know he's talking about someone he was. When I hear him describe his love for God and commitment to Christianity, I encourage it.

It's no surprise Adam cl...

Sometimes when I interview someone very affable and professional, I think to myself, "No wonder this guy sold a million books." That's how I think about today's guest on Chiseled, Jon Acuff. Jon is so funny, polished, and purpose-driven that he fills the screen and every room he enters.
