    ESP Ep. 79 William Roggie

    In this special episode of the Easier Said Podcast, Brock sits down with his father, William Roggie, for an honest and thoughtful conversation about life, perspective, and the lessons that only time can teach. William reflects on his upbringing, the power of imagination in childhood, and how gratitude reshapes the way we view both hardship and blessing. As the conversation unfolds, he shares how priorities naturally shift over the course of life, why understanding the struggles of others matters, and how integrity isn’t something you claim, it’s something you learn and live out daily. The discussion moves into marriage, commitment, and the realities of modern culture, where long-term dedication is often undervalued. William offers practical wisdom on understanding your spouse, managing expectations, and building a personal philosophy rooted in responsibility rather than convenience. As a father, he opens up about the weight and privilege of parenting, why timing matters when starting a family, and how each stage of raising children brings its own challenges and joys. At its core, this episode is about legacy, what gets passed down, what gets learned the hard way, and how communication and presence shape relationships between parents and children.

    ESP Ep. 77 Matt Ranaudo

    On this episode of Easier Said Podcast, Matt Ranaudo joins for a lighthearted yet powerful conversation about identity, resilience, and chasing your dreams. An accomplished musician, songwriter, and TV personality, Matt takes us back to his childhood, where both sports and music were deeply woven into his family life. From growing up with strong family bonds to discovering his natural musical talent, he shares how baseball first shaped his discipline and confidence, even while quietly wrestling with a passion for music he didn’t always feel free to embrace. Matt opens up about the realities of his college baseball career, including the pressure, stress, and expectations of high-level competition, and the emotional toll of suppressing a creative side that was fighting to be heard. He discusses navigating identity and the life-altering accident that forced him to confront who he truly was beyond the game. That pivotal moment eventually led to the creation of his band Brother Stone & The Get Down and launched him into the music world, unexpected opportunities, and national television exposure. The conversation also delves into his behind-the-scenes reality TV experience on The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart, from auditions and live filming to performing under pressure and facing public reaction online. Matt is candid about the highs, the dark side of internet criticism, and the disappointment of a canceled tour, while maintaining that your mindset ultimately determines growth and outcomes. The episode concludes with what’s next for his music career, the upcoming release of a new Christmas song, and the purpose he finds in using his story to inspire others navigating the space between comfort and calling.
