This week, we welcome Rob back for a deeper dive into his past and the personal experiences that shaped him. Along the way, we hear about the fun side of his story, including his music background and what inspired him to start Hidden Home Records.

Rob’s a busy guy: he plays in two bands, runs a record label, writes for Bandnada, and balances it all while working a “medium-boy” office job. Appreciate you taking the time to sit down and share your story, Rob!

As Marisa puts it - “It’s not the way it sounds necessarily, it's the way that it makes you feel.” In this episode with my “beige emo” friend, Marisa, we hear her hot takes and what it’s like to be a rocker mom. She came prepared with some great concert stories and definitions. One of my favorite stories that she shared is how she told her parents she was going to see a Christian metal band… it never was Christian metal music. She has gone from merch girl, to perfecting the myspace scene selfie, to being an amazing mother. I hope you enjoy meeting my friend Marisa!

“Music is definitely the thing that makes me happy.” Rob bleeds music. Rob is music. In this episode with Rob and Craig, Rob teaches us all things necessary for a pop punk kid starter kit.

Then, he tickles our nostalgia with a blast from the past including, The Mighty Ducks, Power Rangers, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

Rob has been in more bands than anyone I know, including the two he’s currently in - Shrugdealer band and Onsie band. He can basically play any instrument. If he’s not playing music, he’s listening to it or writing about it. If he’s not talking to someone about music, he’s listening to a podcast or watching a music documentary about his favorite bands.

He is such a good guy, and super funny. Spoiler alert - there will definitely be a part 2 since this episode barely scratches the surface on the things we need to hear about from Ed Sheeran, I mean Rob. He does this all while drinking a grape soda.
