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

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…

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…

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…

When Ghosts, Ads, and Storytelling Collide: A Rock Solid Conversation with Monica Ballard

Bryan Eisenberg

What happens when you blend 20 years of creative firepower, a haunted hotel, and a glass of red wine? You get Monica Ballard. She’s written jingles. Directed shows. Led ghost tours. Voiced ads you’ve definitely heard. And if you’ve called “A Place at Home – North Austin (512) 521-3010,” you’ve already met her without knowing it. So when my friend Marion, a jingle writer himself, nudged me to invite Monica onto the Rock Solid podcast, it wasn’t even a question.…

Why Round Rock Is Quietly Building the Strongest Entrepreneurial Culture in Texas

Bryan Eisenberg

You ever walk into a room and just know you’re in the right place? That’s what talking to Adriana Nunez of the Round Rock Chamber on the Rock Solid podcast felt like. Now, if you’ve ever heard me speak or read Be Like Amazon or Waiting for Your Cat to Bark, you know I believe in systems. Repeatable processes. Measurable outcomes. But even more, I believe in people. And Adriana? She’s the kind of person who makes a community magnetic…

Why Your Kid Should Run a Business Before They Get a Job

Bryan Eisenberg

Have you ever seen a 10-year-old negotiate product margins, rethink branding strategy, and pivot to a new product based on customer feedback – all before lunch? I have. And it wasn’t in some Shark Tank fantasy camp. It happened right here in Round Rock, Texas, at the ESTEAM Academy Children’s Business Fair. This is their 8th fair. We just wrapped up a very special episode of Rock Solid, where I sat down with several of the young entrepreneurs who’ll be…
