This episode's guest is probably one of the most unassuming people I think that I have ever met. Rob Chapman and I have met on many occasions, we have shared a little banter and the odd guitar talk, but Rob is a bit of a god in the music industry.

With 738,000 YouTube subscribers,123,000 followers on Facebook, 164,000 followers on Instagram, a Wikipedia page, two bands to his name, as the frontman for Dorje, Clockwork Wolf AND Co & Founder/owner of Chapman Guitars, anyone who is anyone in the music industry has heard of Rob Chapman.

Love this podcast as Rob shares his remarkable journey that brought him to where he is today.
