Hey, Umer here.
Welcome to Life Sized Voices—
where we dive into the stories behind the books we bring to life.
First up: Bob Molle—Olympic silver medalist, 2x Grey Cup champ,
and author of Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable.
His book isn’t about playing it safe—
it’s about pushing through discomfort and breaking limits.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, this one’s for you.
The Spark
Some books take years. Others happen in a moment.
For Bob, that moment came after a keynote with Robert Kiyosaki.
After his talk, someone pulled him aside:
“That was incredible… too bad you’re a dumbass.”
Bob, confused, asked why.
“Because hundreds of people just lined up to buy your book…
and you don’t have one.”
That hit hard. He realized his wins, failures,
and struggles weren’t just personal lessons—
they were insights others needed.
From that moment,
Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable wasn’t just a mantra—
it was a book in the making.
Inside the Pages
Bob doesn’t believe in comfort zones—he sees them as barriers to real success.
Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable is a blueprint for resilience, built on three core ideas:
✔ Growth happens outside your comfort zone.
✔ Failure isn’t an obstacle—it’s part of progress.
✔ Strength—both mental and physical—comes from adversity.
With lessons from his time as an Olympian,
Grey Cup champion, and high-performance coach,
Bob lays out a straightforward roadmap for pushing past fear, building discipline,
and thriving under pressure.
His message has reached over 40,000 people,
led to coaching, speaking, and leadership training,
and continues to challenge high performers to break their limits.

Founder’s Note – Umer Farooque
I’ve always believed books shouldn’t just sit on shelves—
they should start conversations and leave a lasting impact.
At Life Sized Publishing, we work with people who have something real to say—
whether it’s a philosophy, a career, or a movement—
and help them turn it into something that lasts.
Bob’s book is proof of that.
If you’ve got an idea the world needs to hear, let’s make it happen.
Best,
Umer
