What makes someone choose Round Rock, Texas over anywhere else?
In this episode of Rock Solid, Bryan Eisenberg sits down with Lucia Murguia to explore her remarkable journey—from growing up in El Paso and studying journalism at The University of Texas to building a successful career in engineering business development and becoming one of Round Rock's most passionate community leaders.
Lucia shares how Leadership Round Rock transformed her perspective, why helping launch the Round Rock Young Professionals program has been so meaningful, and how finding her "tribe" in Round Rock changed both her personal and professional life.
The conversation also takes a deeply personal turn as Lucia reflects on the loss of her beloved dog, Zoe, and how that experience inspired her to pursue entrepreneurship through the Round Rock Chamber's JumpStart program. Her story is a powerful reminder that even life's hardest moments can lead to new purpose.
Whether you're a young professional, entrepreneur, community leader, or someone looking to make meaningful connections, Lucia's message is simple: Just show up.
