Welcome back to Chasing Joy… where curiosity, creativity, and real life collide.In this episode, Spencer, Bryan, and Wayne are joined by Joel Miller, author, lifelong rock roadie, and host of the Party Like a Rock Star podcast, for a conversation that completely flips the narrative on social media.If you’ve listened to the show before, you know Spencer is famously skeptical of social media and the chaos it brings. This time, the tables turn. Joel is living proof that social platforms can actually be used for something better… connection, encouragement, and creative joy.Joel shares stories from his years on the road with legendary acts like Stone Temple Pilots and Ozzy Osbourne, and how those experiences shaped his voice, perspective, and sense of purpose. From backstage chaos to viral reaction videos watched by over a million people each month, Joel breaks down what it really takes to build an audience without losing your soul.Along the way, the conversation dives into creativity, humor, loss, resilience, and why purpose matters more than popularity. There are laughs, unexpected insights, and a few moments that might make you rethink how you show up online… and offline.Whether you love social media, hate it, or feel stuck somewhere in between, this episode is a reminder that joy can still be shared loudly, generously, and authentically… even in the noisiest places.
