In this episode of Aligning With You, Robert Wall welcomes filmmaker and founder of Rowland Film Co., Silas Rowland, for a conversation about creative grit, storytelling with soul, and building a career in film from the most unconventional beginnings.

Silas takes us back to his earliest days—skateboarding with his brother, making DIY stunt videos, and editing on outdated software—where the seed of his storytelling passion was first planted. He opens up about how a childhood alter ego helped him battle social anxiety, why filmmaking became his purpose, and how that passion evolved into directing All That Is Evil, an indie horror feature that blends heart, faith, and genre-defying depth.

With humor, honesty, and hard-earned wisdom, Silas reveals the lessons he's learned navigating independent film. This episode is a masterclass in resilience and resourcefulness for anyone committed to telling stories that matter.

Key Takeaways

• Start where you are: Silas’s career began with skateboarding videos, a flip cam, and a relentless drive to make people feel something through storytelling.

• Creativity as survival: He used humor and character creation to navigate anxiety—and discovered the power of performance and narrative in the process.

• From DIY to distribution: Silas explains the business side of indie filmmaking, including why he pursued horror as a viable market and how he's negotiating distribution while retaining rights.

• Faith in unexpected places: Though All That Is Evil is a horror film, its core message is about confronting and destroying evil, and includes powerful spiritual undertones.

• Define success on your terms: Silas shares how he finally embraced the title “filmmaker” after years of feeling like he hadn’t earned it—and what that realization changed.

In this episode of Aligning With You, Robert Wall invites you to step into a transformative truth: your brand is not something you build—it’s something you reveal. Through the lens of what he calls The Mirror Principle, Robert challenges the conventional branding advice we’ve all been fed. Logos and funnels won’t make or break your brand—but self-awareness, alignment, and identity will.

Robert shares the mindset shifts and soul-level insights that have helped CEOs, creatives, and changemakers strip away the noise and come home to who they really are. From understanding the reflection your brand is casting to auditing your inner world, this episode is both a mirror and a map—guiding you back to your essence so you can build something that truly lasts.

Whether you’re pivoting, rebranding, or starting from scratch, this episode will help you stop scaling a borrowed vision and start embodying your own.

Key Takeaways

• The Mirror Principle. Your brand is a reflection of who you really are—not who you’re trying to be.

• Branding isn’t a strategy problem. It’s often a soul one. Misalignment on the inside creates confusion on the outside.

• You attract at the level of your identity. If your brand is built on burnout or borrowed beliefs, that’s what people respond to.

• The power of inner clarity. Silence, self-awareness, and honesty are more valuable than any funnel or trend.

• Rebuild from essence, not ego. Branding from your true story creates trust you don’t have to chase.

In this powerful first episode of Aligning With You! Heart, Mind & Soul, host Robert Wall shares the story that redefined everything he thought he knew about purpose, success, and identity.

Through the life and legacy of his daughter Lizzie—born seven weeks early with a rare, terminal condition—Robert unpacks how alignment isn’t a strategy or brand promise, but something sacred, embodied, and earned through fire. Lizzie couldn’t walk, talk, or see, yet her presence changed lives. Her time on earth became the catalyst for Robert’s own transformation: from ego to essence, from performance to purpose.

• Alignment begins where the illusion of control ends.

• Lizzie’s life, though brief, became a profound source of purpose, conviction, and courage.

• Most people don’t need a rebrand—they need realignment.
