Brock Thompson on Food, Music, and Folklore

I sit down with entrepreneur, musician, and actor Brock Thompson. Together, we explore Brock's diverse ventures, including his restaurants Starvin Arvin's and the Peach Cobbler Factory, and dive into his journey through music and acting.

Brock shares the challenges he faced with spasmodic dysphonia, a voice disorder, and how it has shaped his career. I hope you enjoy this heartfelt discussion about community, creativity, and the vibrant culture of Huntington!
