This week on Around The Loop, I sit down with Jacob “JROD” Rodriguez — the man behind JROD Electric — for one of the most organic and inspiring conversations we’ve had yet. And yes… we did it all while shooting pool. 🎱
JROD shares the full story of how he got started in the electrical trade, what motivated him to launch his own business, and how he’s built a name not just as a top-notch electrician, but as a mentor and community leader. We dive into the hustle of running a small business, the importance of giving back, and why teaching pipe bending has become a passion for him.
He also talks about his viral moments being featured twice on Foos Gone Wild, and how social media has played a role in his growth and platform.
This is more than just an interview — it’s a real, unfiltered conversation about chasing your passion, building your brand, and staying true to who you are.
🎧 Tune in for:
- The journey behind JROD Electric
- Pipe bending education & mentorship
- The power of community leadership
- Going viral on Food Gone Wild
- Real talk on business, hustle, and personal growth
