Pravar founder and lead coach Rob Kropp, has experienced the confusion, desperation and stress that comes from having lived in a family that coexisted, because his Father was working his heart out for them, while at the same time losing them in the process.

This had a profound effect on Rob as a 10-year-old, and still does. An experience he is determined to ensure doesn’t happen to his own family, or any of his clients.  That’s why, at an early age he was determined to crack the code of how to build a successful business where the time and money was there to dedicate to the family, and other things that made life fulfilling.

Interestingly he quickly learnt there are many things highly successful business owners know that are not taught in university.  So, while his Double Degree in Business, Accounting and Financial Planning, and Masters of Management in Human Resources were useful, he needed to dig deeper and develop insights, and unique systems and processes that did not yet exist. He has done that, and now they have been proven time and time again to work yielding business and life transforming results.

Today, Rob and his wife Jacqui have 3 amazing little kids, Grace, Maddie and Ben and a dog named Doug.

As a husband and father, he appreciates firsthand the challenges that come with balancing business and family life.

Based in Melbourne, he loves getting out in the garden, travelling, coffee and a good red wine.

In this episode of our Trade Den Podcast,  Rob talks about what it was like being a kid with a Dad who was the typical tradie who worked his arse off to provide for our family, his honest thoughts at that time, and how it has shaped him to be who he is today as a husband, father and businessman.
