“Building a Sound Career and a Meaningful Life” with Robb Mills (BYI08)

I'm always fascinated with stories of how people have built long-lasting and sustainable careers. But what happens when someone burns out doing something they love, decides to learn a new trade, and ends up not only rebuilding a career but creates a more meaningful life in the process? That is the story of Robb Mills, an independent audio contractor for over 20 years, working on films and video games as a sound designer and music composer. From the hustle and grind of his early days to resetting his life with yoga therapy, Robb candidly shares story after story of honing his craft around his love for sound and music while serving and sharing life with others.

From RobbMills.com: “I’ve been professionally involved in audio production for over 20 years. Currently, I’m an Independent Audio Contractor working remotely on a wide variety of projects and game titles from beautiful Bend, Oregon. I provide game audio production services to individuals and companies of all sizes. I have a degree in music from Ball State University’s Music Technology program. I hold a IAYT Certification in Yoga Therapy, am a Deschutes County Search & Rescue volunteer, and strive to make everyday just a little bit better than the one before.”
