Making Your Side Hustle Hobby Your New Career with Eric Lenasbunt of Bunt Backline Event Services

Hey Podcast Fam! In this episode…  Collin had no voice, lol. He switched seats with Michael (they both thought it was so weird) and they need to know how you think Mike did on the intro - leave a comment below!

Our guest was Eric Lenasbunt of Bunt Backline Event Services, LLC and in this episode, we hear how his #sidehustle hobby doing sound for bands and events led to him eventually leaving a career in teaching and going ALL IN on his passion. 15 years later, Eric leads a team and finds himself in a transition from working “in” the business as a chief sound guy to working “on” the business as the leader. 

Collin apologizes for his voice in this episode, but Eric and Michael were great. Enjoy!
