    Understanding Going From Nothing To Something | Bob Schober

    🎙️ Tonight on The Above The Bar Podcast 🕗 LIVE at 8 PM EST Tonight’s guest is Bob Schober — better known online as the “9 Figure Roofer.” Bob’s story is one of the most powerful comeback stories you’ll hear. Before building a nine-figure roofing company, he was homeless, broke, and struggling to survive. Today, he’s using social media not to show off success, but to create real-world impact. Through his viral videos, Bob helps families in need with free roofs, financial support, job opportunities, and direct acts of generosity. What started as sharing his journey has become something much bigger — a way to reach people who feel forgotten and remind them their current situation does not define their future. Tonight we’ll talk about: • Going from homelessness to building a nine-figure company • The mental reality of starting with nothing • Why he uses social media to help people instead of flexing wealth • Entrepreneurship, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership • How small acts of generosity can completely change someone’s life Bob represents a different kind of entrepreneur — one focused on impact, not image. 📱 Follow Bob Schober: Instagram • TikTok • YouTube Search: “Bob Schober – 9 Figure Roofer” Pull up a stool and join us live tonight at 8 PM EST. #TheAboveTheBarPodcast #BeSureToPushYourStoolIn #BobSchober #Entrepreneurship #Resilience #Leadership #Motivation #BusinessGrowth #GivingBack

    🎙️ Tonight on The Above The Bar Podcast 🕗 Live at 8 PM EST Tonight’s guest is Behdad Jamshidi, also known as Bee, founder of CJAM The Marketing Connector.

His real strength is in the matchmaking process — connecting the right business with the right marketing team at the right time.

Tonight we’ll dive into: • Why most businesses choose the wrong marketing agency • How to figure out what your business actually needs • The biggest mistakes companies make when hiring marketing help • How the right partnership can drive real growth If marketing has ever felt like a guessing game, this is one you don’t want to miss.

    How Do You Keep A Band Together For 25 Years | Punk As A Doornail

    🎙️ Tonight on The Above The Bar Podcast 🕗 Live at 8 PM EST We’re bringing back Punk As A Doornail for a live episode you don’t want to miss. Born in Orange County in 1999, Punk As A Doornail started as a raw noise project using found-object instruments before evolving into a one-of-a-kind punk duo. At the center of their sound is the skatar — a custom skateboard guitar created and played by Keith Irish, alongside drummer/vocalist Johnny Rage. It all started with a simple idea: if you’re not a great skater… why not turn the board into an instrument? They don’t cover punk. They are punk. Channeling the originality of the 70s and 80s, Punk As A Doornail delivers a sound you recognize instantly because it doesn’t sound like anyone else. With 25 years of evolution and releases like: • Flogging the Punk Horse • Suck 4 Cash • Sleeping in My Piss • Dead As A Sad Snail • Paddle Boat Spring Park (latest release, vinyl just dropped Feb 2026) They’ve built a reputation for raw, unpredictable performances and true DIY energy.
