Conversations with Cameron Robbert

Today we’d like to introduce you to Cameron Robbert.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I found myself in a bit of a rut back in 2019. I was finishing my degree and completing an internship in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I enjoyed the people I was working with but was struggling with my mental health, among other things. I felt stuck.

On one hand, I had put in a lot of work to put myself into this position, It was everything I thought I wanted, but I wasn’t happy. It was clear that I needed to do some soul-searching and make a change.

Through a random encounter on one of days at my internship, I got to know an individual named Mark. He asked me what my plans were and I explained that I was likely going to take a job within the company I was working with at the time but that I had the idea of moving to Colorado in the next few years. His only response to that was one simple question, “why don’t you just do it now?”. I struggled to produce an answer and was taken aback by how simple, yet profound the question was. It was this exact interaction that gave me the inspiration to take a chance, leave everything behind and move to Colorado.

I could not be happier with my decision and the way things have played out since that day. Countless experiences, the people I’ve met and memories made have solidified my time since then.

The moral of he story is: sometimes you need a Mark.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Looking back, I believe the road has neither been smooth nor rough. Like anything, my life and the path it’s taken has had it’s fair share of ups and downs. While it’s important to look back and learn from those experiences, it’s equally, if not more, important to remain grounded in the present and to enjoy each day as it presents itself.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am by far most proud of being able to provide a workplace environment that welcomes all. People spend a lot of their lives’ at work, and I believe the least I can do as a leader is to allow them to fully be themselves. I truly appreciate all of the hard work that my staff put in, and I would not be the person I am today without them.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I think the best mentors in life find you. It’s a rather hard, or incongruent relationship to force. There’s even a bit of a “don’t meet your heroes” component, in some regards. I’ve been fortunate to have countless amazing mentors over the years. My biggest piece of advice for anyone out there is to always be eager and willing to learn from anyone. Your title, experience and status could not mean less, and if you place too much meaning onto those things, you will likely miss out on tons of connections moving forward. You can, and should, learn from anyone.
