NASHVILLE, TN — In a city known for its ever-evolving rhythm, few voices resonate with the authenticity and impact of Robert Higgins—better known as Black Rob. On the latest episode of the Music City Mindset Podcast, hosts Blake Harris and Evan Butler sit down with the influential Nashville native for a raw and powerful conversation about change, identity, and legacy in Music City.

Higgins, a pillar in the Nashville community, opens up about his upbringing, the experiences that shaped him, and his perspective on how the city has transformed over the years. From the early days of a tighter-knit, culturally grounded Nashville to the rapid growth and gentrification seen today, Black Rob gives listeners a firsthand account of how these shifts have affected not only the city’s landscape but the people within it.

More than just a reflection, this episode is a masterclass in community building. Rob shares how he has used his platform, influence, and deep community ties to spark conversations and create spaces for unity. Whether through mentorship, activism, or simply showing up for his people, his presence in Nashville runs deep—and his message is one of resilience and responsibility.

The episode doesn’t shy away from hard truths but instead leans into them, inviting listeners to consider their own role in shaping a city in transition.

Brought to listeners by Black Rifle Coffee Company, Defiance Fuel, and Stat Wellness, the Music City Mindset Podcast continues to highlight the voices of Nashville’s movers, shakers, and culture-makers.
