- Brian Balduf: Co-founder of VHT Studios, recently "retired" or, as he prefers, undergoing a "reset." This "reset" has allowed him more time to dedicate to the podcast. He was recently gifted a signed Harley Benton guitar by original members of VHT Studios, symbolizing his 27-year journey with the company.
- Brad Balduf: CEO and co-founder of By Your Side Autism Therapy Services.
- Matt Croke: The host and "consummate entertainer" responsible for keeping the conversation light and flowing. He sees himself as an "umpire," facilitating the discussion without being a central "CEO." Matt is also the host of a Podcast about autism therapy.
2. The Genesis of "CEO Bros After Hours" The podcast originated from weekly "after-hours" conversations between Brian and Brad, often over drinks, where they shared business stories and experiences.
- Core Concept: The initial idea was to "catalog" these valuable, often humorous or unbelievable, business anecdotes and insights.
- Target Audience: The podcast aims to provide "good content" for "aspiring entrepreneurs, people that want to start a business, people that maybe manage a department [or] manage a company."
- Casual Tone: A conscious choice was made to maintain an "after hours" and "casual" atmosphere, complete with drinks, to differentiate it from a typical "job."
- Team Formation:Brad suggested Matt as a host to "keep the content flowing" and "keep it light," as Brian and Brad alone might struggle to maintain a structured conversation.
- Amber was brought in due to her sound engineering background and enthusiasm for the project. She handles all production, video editing, and post-production, a critical role that the hosts quickly realized they couldn't manage on their own.
