Understanding Going From Nothing To Something | Bob Schober
3w ago01:00:37Tap to summarize🎙️ 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

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.

Mar 1901:11:27Tap to summarize🎙️ 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.

Transcribe →How Do You Come Back From Rock Bottom | Mike Campbell
Mar 501:01:32Tap to summarize🎙️ TONIGHT on The Above The Bar Podcast 🕗 Live at 8 PM EST Tonight we sit down with Mike Campbell — Marine veteran, father of two, small business owner, and a man who has walked through PTSD and come out on the other side with purpose. For years, Mike believed strength meant handling everything alone. As a Marine, he was trained to push through pain. What he experienced during service followed him home, and instead of facing it, he tried to outwork it and outrun it. Diagnosed with PTSD in 2015, it still took time before he fully confronted what was happening inside. The C and P exam was a breaking point. Entering a long-term VA program became the turning point. It was there, surrounded by fellow veterans who understood the struggle, that he learned a powerful truth: Seeking help is not weakness. “The only way thru, is thru.” Tonight we’ll talk about: • What PTSD really looks like after the uniform comes off • Why pride and silence keep so many veterans stuck • How faith changed his path and deepened his relationship with Jesus • The mission behind Mission Guided Light • The vision for Rockland Revival Festival and building a community rooted in renewal Mike’s story is about more than survival. It’s about transformation. It’s about taking pain and turning it into a platform to help others heal.

Transcribe →Is Politics Not Working For You | Travis Misurell
Feb 2600:59:34Tap to summarize🎙️ This week on The Above The Bar Podcast we’re joined by Travis Misurell LIVE on Wednesday, Feb 25th at 8 PM EST. Travis is building FiNC with one clear mission. Upgrade how America chooses its leaders so citizens can finally find and support candidates they actually believe in. Here’s the core idea we’ll unpack together: Right now big money and party gatekeepers decide who is “electable” before most people ever see real options. FiNC is working on a citizen owned approach that gives every candidate a fair shot and gives voters a clearer way to compare leaders using real information, not spin. We’ll also talk about Travis’s lens that cuts through the noise fast: Stop asking Left vs Right. Start asking Up or Down. Up means power first. Down means people first. That one question changes how you see everything. What we’ll cover in the episode: How the Digital Politics Hub helps citizens plug in and take action now How FiNC plans to move toward a true digital democracy Why momentum matters if we want real features live by the 2026 midterms Come hang out live, jump in the comments, and bring your questions. #TheAboveTheBarPodcast #BeSureToPushYourStoolIn #PodcastLive #CivicInnovation #VotingReform #FutureOfDemocracy #Leadership #Politics #FiNC
