Our First Podcast: As Authentic as You Can Get

14 minutes

Have you ever wondered what people were all about? No faking. No pretending. Just be real.

That's what our podcast is all about Authentic Conversations. Stock (Rob Stockhausen) and Hicksy (Tom Hicks) talk with each other, and their guests talk about their experiences, dreams, and failures and tell a few jokes along the way. This is their first podcast, so it's only them. As you get to know them, we think you'll enjoy their conversations with each other and with their guests, too, who will be much more interesting.

Hosts

Rob Stockhausen was raised in Buckhead, Georgia. He went to Hampden-Sydney College (barely made it out alive) in Virginia and ultimately grad school at the University of Virginia. Rob has spent most of his adult life in Charlottesville, VA where he has been in the commercial real estate business. He is the ultimate “people” person. He loves to talk and get to know people (understatement of the year), is a prolific texter, and has a strong emoji game. He digs pickleball, golf, and rapping with the boys. Rob loves iced tea but not as much as he loves his greatest gifts, his wife and two college-aged children.

Tom Hicks was raised in Greenwich, CT, and has lived in Charlottesville, VA for the past 24 years. In a rare moment of spontaneity, (for Tom), he left a corporate job to move with his wife and two young sons to Charlottesville to own a small business. After selling the business in 2014 he moved to Tuscany, Italy, and spent his time, and money, living the good life. Actually….that’s not true. In 2019 Tom began a new career in solar energy and has loved being part of a growing and important industry. Tom is a University of Virginia graduate with a Communications major.
