Nicholle Walton-Durban From ESTEAM Academy

A Four-Year-Old Just Outsold You with Nicholle Walton Durban

Last Saturday in Round Rock a preschooler sold every glitter candle on her table in ninety minutes. No ad budget, no CRM, just a marker poster and unstoppable enthusiasm. If that stings, good. Discomfort is data, and data fuels growth. The Moment My Lens Flipped Nicholle Walton Durban sat in front of the mic and dropped a single word that rewired the conversation: edupreneur. She is not an educator who dabbles in commerce. She is an entrepreneur who builds learning…

Most companies treat storytelling like seasoning.

Bryan Eisenberg

Sprinkle a little on the website.Add a pinch to the pitch deck.Maybe toss it in the onboarding slideshow. But here’s the truth:Story isn’t seasoning. It is the system. If your story only lives in your marketing, you’re missing 90% of its power. Because story is how humans understand the world.It is how we decide what matters.Who we trust.What we believe.And why we act. That is why your story has to show up everywhere: Great companies do not just tell stories.They…

You Don’t Have to Be Right. You Just Have to Know How Fast You’re Wrong.

Bryan Eisenberg

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from my conversation with Juan Damia on the Born2Unicorn podcast, it’s this: You don’t need to be right all the time. You just need to know how fast you’re wrong. That’s it. That’s the shift. That’s what changes everything. Most entrepreneurs are stuck chasing perfection. They want the pitch to be flawless, the product to be complete, the plan to be airtight. I get it. But here’s the truth: progress beats…

Keith Goode, technical search engine optimization expert

Keith Goode on the Evolution of Search and Why Technical SEO Still Matters

Bryan Eisenberg

Keith Goode landed in Round Rock over 20 years ago. He didn’t have a job. Just an invitation to crash with a friend. He saw potential here. Something felt right. And now? He’s helped some of the biggest brands in the world fix their most complex search challenges. But back then? Like a lot of us, he started by doing SEO before it even had a name. Back in the days of Altavista and Yahoo, ranking was about cramming keywords…

Deana Cavanaugh on Nonprofit Leadership and Raising Funds with Purpose

Bryan Eisenberg

Have you ever met someone and thought, “How do they manage to do it all and still care so deeply?” That’s what I felt after sitting down with Deana Cavanaugh for an episode of Rock Solid: The Round Rock Business Leaders Podcast. Deana’s journey didn’t follow a neat line. It zigged from government contracting into construction and then zagged into fundraising. That jump wasn’t random. It was intentional, driven by a need to make a difference. She wasn’t chasing a…
