The Summit
The Summit Podcast is a conversations-first show for business owners, leaders, and high performers who are committed to growth—personally and professionally.
Hosted by Bob Turner, performance coach and founder of Summit Coaching & Consulting, the podcast features real, unfiltered conversations with entrepreneurs, contractors, coaches, and operators who are building businesses, leading teams, and navigating the challenges that come with growth.
These aren’t highlight-reel success stories. We dig into mindset, leadership, discipline, decision-making, failure, resilience, and what it actually takes to show up every day and lead at a higher level—at work, at home, and in life.
Whether you’re scaling a business, rebuilding after adversity, or simply looking for clarity and momentum, The Summit Podcast is designed to challenge your thinking, sharpen your edge, and help you rise to the next level.
This is about doing the work.
This is about becoming uncommon.
This is The Summit.
