Rob Scheer: Foster Care to Founder

Rob Scheer shares his inspirational, full circle journey in this can't-miss episode. Rob experienced the foster care system as a youth, and is now a dedicated advocate for other youth in care, a veteran, a husband, a father of children previously in care, an author, a podcast host, and the founder of an impactful non-profit, Comfort Cases. Rob shares his personal insights into the foster care system and how his lived experiences guide the work he does today. Drawing on his experiences as a child who had to carry around a trash bag full of belongings from placement to placement, one of Rob's missions is to ensure that no foster child lives out of trash bag—he achieves this mission through the non-profit that he founded, Comfort Cases.  Rob's episode is sure to inspire all who listen!
