Legacy Is Built Between Bites: What Will Peckham Taught Me About the Stories We Leave Behind

Some men build resumes. Others build roots. Will Peckham didn’t just run for office or shake hands at ribbon cuttings. He showed up, day after day, one bite at a time, to feed a vision of Round Rock that would outlive him. Not for legacy’s sake. But for his kids, his grandkids, and for neighbors he hadn’t yet met. When we sat down for the Rock Solid podcast, I wasn’t just hearing another civic success story. I was witnessing someone…

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

Bryan Eisenberg

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…

The Elephant in the Room: What Midlife Women (and Men) Aren’t Talking About but Should

Bryan Eisenberg

Last week on the Rock Solid podcast, I sat down with fitness and menopause coach Karen Cerezo. I expected a great conversation. What I didn’t expect was to feel so seen. Because as Karen talked about brain fog, fatigue, and aching joints… about the slow erosion of identity that hits so many women in midlife… I felt my own story echoing back. Let me be real. Before my transformation, I knew the weight I carried wasn’t just physical. It was…

How Monica McKitterick from Impact Family Wellness Helped Me Swallow An Elephant

Bryan Eisenberg

Some stories start with inspiration. Others start with blood work. Mine started with both. In July 2024, I walked into Impact Family Wellness expecting just another check-up. Instead, I walked into the beginning of a new story. Monica McKitterick and her team didn’t just take my vitals. They ordered full blood work that uncovered the truth I had been avoiding. My blood sugar was more than triple the healthy range. My blood pressure was spiking. Other markers weren’t much better.…

Community, Startups, and Real Impact: A Conversation with YJ Lin of Dell for Startups

Bryan Eisenberg

Back when I was a 20-something social worker in New York, I had a boss named Fred. Former priest, recovering alcoholic, lived through the Bowery, and taught me more about people than any textbook ever could. He used to ask, “When are you going to write your book?” I didn’t get it back then. But I get it now. It wasn’t about putting words on paper. It was about owning your story, leading your story, and writing your next chapter…

From the Boardroom to the Ballroom: How Selicia Sanchez-Adame Is Redefining Leadership in Round Rock

Bryan Eisenberg

What does real leadership look like in Round Rock? It looks like Selicia Sanchez-Adame. Entrepreneur. Community builder. Bold voice for the future. I had the pleasure of interviewing Selicia on the Rock Solid podcast. This conversation wasn’t your typical LinkedIn highlight reel. It was honest. It was rooted. And it revealed what makes her one of the most quietly powerful forces shaping Round Rock today. Selicia didn’t just grow up in Round Rock. She grew into herself here. From the…

Dr Mark Malone from Advanced Pain Care On Rock Solid Round Rock

What Chronic Pain Taught One Doctor About Healing: A Conversation with Dr. Mark Malone

Bryan Eisenberg

Most doctors learn about pain from textbooks. Dr. Mark Malone learned from the floor of his home, stuck there after a devastating back injury. He couldn’t walk. Couldn’t work. Could barely reach the refrigerator. And this was after years of already running a pain clinic. That kind of firsthand experience? It changes you. When I sat down with Dr. Malone on the Rock Solid podcast, we weren’t just talking about business. We were talking about what happens when purpose meets…

Building Community, Feeding Purpose: A Conversation with Diana Lindsey

Bryan Eisenberg

When people ask me what makes Round Rock different, I don’t hesitate. It’s not just the growth. It’s not just the innovation. It’s the people. It’s always been the people. That’s why I launched Rock Solid: The Round Rock Business Leaders Podcast – to capture the heart of what drives this city forward. And in this episode, I got the absolute joy of sitting down with my good friend and fellow Round Rock Chamber ambassador, Diana Lindsey. If you’ve ever…
