The Rock Solid Round Rock Podcast has reached its first anniversary, having released 52 weekly episodes that elevate entrepreneurs, civic leaders, and community voices shaping Central Texas. The show is available at rocksolidrr.com, with full video episodes streaming on YouTube. The podcast originated after the Round Rock Chamber’s Entrepreneurial Town Hall, an event that revealed the community’s desire for more visibility, mentorship, and storytelling around local business leadership. Hosts Bryan Eisenberg, Bill Combes, and Brent Pierce transformed that request into action, combining their expertise in storytelling, marketing, and production to create a platform focused on Round Rock and Central Texas’s rising momentum.
Every episode is recorded at Round Rock Studio, where the atmosphere fosters authenticity and connection. The show has become a reference point for local founders, Chamber members, community organizations, and elected officials. Episodes highlight business development trends, community needs, education partnerships, nonprofit initiatives, and lessons from both scrappy startups and seasoned leaders. This blend of civic insight and entrepreneurial transparency has helped position Round Rock as one of Texas’s most compelling business communities. Over 52 episodes, Rock Solid has featured many of Central Texas’s recognized leaders, including former Mayor Charlie Culpepper, former Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell, U.S. Small Business Administration Disaster Relief and Recovery representative Anita Steenson, and founders like Robin Eissler of BoosterHub, John Garrett of Community Impact, and Jessica Scanlon of Hot Dog Marketing.
Rock Solid emerged in one of America’s fastest-growing communities. Williamson County’s total appraised value nearly doubled from $89.1 billion to $184.4 billion in six years, and 12,558 new small businesses opened during that period, even before the full economic impact of Samsung’s massive expansion is reflected. This surge of growth, entrepreneurship, and investment has made Round Rock a proving ground for Central Texas and the country’s future. The podcast captures the stories behind this momentum, providing founders, civic leaders, and innovators a platform to share how they’re shaping a region expanding faster than almost anywhere else nationally. Host Bryan Eisenberg noted that celebrating a year of Rock Solid means celebrating the community, with every story serving as a reminder of the people making Round Rock Texas’s future.
