An idea was sparked at the Round Rock Chamber Entrepreneurial Town Hall a few months ago and turns into reality today. Bill Combes from No Time For Social, Brent Pierce from Round Rock Studio, and I decided there was an opportunity for a new type of resource. A show that allowed us to feature local businesses from startups, scale-ups, local entrepreneurs, global-sized businesses and non-profits and other business and community leaders in the Round Rock, TX, and surrounding areas. We wanted to see how the community and the business community at large could benefit from hearing from these amazing leaders. Today, we launch our first episode with Bill Combes.

We have some amazing episodes of Rock Solid recorded already and many more amazing business and community leaders from the Round Rock and surrounding communities to be released weekly. There is some really special stuff happening here, but the lessons can apply no matter what city you are in.

We hope you tune in and hopefully join us in Round Rock soon.

The Rock Solid show is also available on Apple Podcast, Spotify and all other podcast platforms.

What if the secret to entrepreneurial success wasn’t just about hard work, but about finding balance, listening deeply, and giving back? That is the story of Bill Combes, founder of No Time for Social and a living blueprint for business done right.

Bill’s journey started in New York, where his entrepreneurial instincts first took root. However, it was his move to Round Rock, Texas, that set the stage for his most transformative work. From innovating weather data for roofing companies to mastering social media marketing, Bill has made a career out of spotting gaps and filling them with brilliance.

His first big win came when he disrupted the roofing industry by turning weather data into actionable insights. By creating visual tools that empowered contractors to act faster, Bill proved the value of carving out a blue ocean, a market so specific that no one else was swimming in it yet.

But Bill’s story is not just about innovation. It is about relationships. His business thrives on transparency, accountability, and a relentless focus on customer satisfaction. “It’s not about how fast you grow,” Bill says. “It’s about how well you serve.” His commitment to service-first thinking has made No Time for Social a standout in the crowded world of social media marketing.

Community is another cornerstone of Bill’s success. Whether through his work with the Round Rock Chamber, local nonprofits, or his love for Old Settlers Park, Bill understands that business does not exist in a vacuum. “When you support the people around you, they show up for you,” he says. It is a philosophy that has turned clients into collaborators and neighbors into advocates.

And then there is balance. For Bill, work-life balance is not a buzzword; it is a survival skill. He openly acknowledges the risk of burnout and advocates for stepping back to recharge. “If you’re not taking care of yourself and your family, your business won’t thrive in the long run,” he insists.

Bill’s story is a reminder of what is possible when you listen, truly listen, to your team, your clients, and your community. By fostering open dialogue and encouraging feedback, he has built a culture of trust that fuels growth and improvement. It is a lesson every entrepreneur should take to heart: success is rarely a solo act.

So, what can you learn from Bill Combes? Innovate where no one else is looking. Treat your customers like partners. Take care of your team. Never forget the value of giving back. Because in the end, business is not just about profit. It is about the impact you leave behind.

What is your blue ocean? How are you serving your community and your team?
