Rock Solid Round Rock Podcast Marks First Anniversary as Voice for Central Texas Growth

The Rock Solid Round Rock Podcast is celebrating its first anniversary, having released 52 weekly episodes dedicated to elevating the 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 made clear the community’s desire for more visibility, mentorship, and storytelling around local business leadership. Hosts Bryan Eisenberg, Bill Combes, and Brent Pierce turned that request into action, blending their perspectives in storytelling, marketing, and production to create a platform centered on Round Rock and Central Texas’s rising momentum.

Every episode is recorded at Round Rock Studio, where the atmosphere encourages 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 the lessons learned from both scrappy startups and seasoned leaders. This mix of civic insight and entrepreneurial transparency has helped position Round Rock as one of the most compelling business communities in Texas. Over the podcast’s 52 episodes, Rock Solid has welcomed many of Central Texas’s most 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 was born in one of the fastest-growing communities in America. 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 same 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 the future of Central Texas and the country. The podcast exists to capture the stories behind that momentum, giving founders, civic leaders, and innovators a platform to share how they’re shaping a region that’s expanding faster than almost anywhere else in the country. Host Bryan Eisenberg noted that celebrating a year of Rock Solid means celebrating the community, with every story shared serving as a reminder of the people who make Round Rock the future of Texas.
