EP935 - Rob René on Your Body Is Your Business Plan — And Why I Built an AI Chief of Staff to Protect It
In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to Rob René. Rob talks to us about how Your Body Is Your Business Plan — And Why I Built an AI Chief of Staff to Protect It. Rob René is the founder of Exodus Strong, the world's first faith-based wellness company integrating red light technology, biblical botanicals, and AI-powered business infrastructure. After surviving five near-death experiences — including stage 3 Malignant Melanoma that stopped his heart on an operating table at age 50 — Rob walked away from a 25-year Fortune 500 sales career to build the wellness products he couldn't find anywhere else. What started as a personal protocol became Exodus Strong: a business serving entrepreneurs, founders, and faith-driven families across the country. Rob is the creator of the Light Code System, a 4-pillar wellness framework (Light, Frequencies, Fuel, Faith) and the host of the BiohackingVille podcast. But Rob's most original contribution may be on the operations side. He built an AI Chief of Staff named Solomon — coordinating a team of 24 AI agents he calls the Twelve Tribes, each with biblical names, scripture references, and specific operational responsibilities. The framework has reduced Rob's working hours from 70 per week to under 25, while growing the business at a faster rate than ever. Rob has appeared on Entrepreneurs On Fire with John Lee Dumas, The Steve Gruber Show (5M+ weekly listeners), His Glory with Pastor Dave Scarlett, and dozens of other faith-based, wellness, and entrepreneurship platforms. He is the author of the upcoming book "Light Code: The 4-Pillar System for Total Body Healing." His mission is to help entrepreneurs reclaim both their bodies and their time — using AI as the mechanism, but with mission-driven business as the purpose. He calls the founders he works with "Change Agents for Good" — entrepreneurs whose businesses make the world meaningfully better when they grow. Rob lives in Texas with his partner Laura. He's healthier at 58 than he was at 44.
