Back in June of 2018, I had a chance to sit down with Nonpoint drummer, Rob Rivera, at Club Red in Mesa, Arizona.

Nonpoint was finishing up the last few shows of their tour before heading home to be with family.  This was a chance for me to follow-up with Rob from a year prior when I interviewed him for my other podcast, Be The Experience.  Click here for that podcast.  My chat with Rob on that podcast are in the first two episodes.

Since being diagnosed as diabetic, Rob has made no bones about his condition and what he did to overcome it.  Fast forward to June of 2018 and Rob shares his progress on where he is in his life mentally, personally and physically. 

We also dive into these topics in today's interview:

• What it's like being a traveling musician and dedicated father and husband.
• Rob's take on depression and how he explains healthy living to fans.
• His definition of what "living" is about.
• Band dynamics and how each band member contributes to the band's music and business.
• Which bands inspire Rob.
