3 Bridges Yoga’s Stephanie Paolini, Folk Singer Sam Robbins, and Entrepreneur Jennifer Desrosiers LIVE at The Music Hall Lounge (PORTSMOUTH)

The Found Generation with Troy Farkas

I recorded the first episode of this podcast from the confines of my roommate's closet in our home in Connecticut in September 2020.

And now, three and-a-half years later, we've made it to the big stage.

From the prestigious Music Hall Lounge in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, it's the first LIVE edition of "The Found Generation" podcast (!!!!!!).

And in this very special episode, I'm joined by three very special people from my beloved Seacoast community:

Stephanie Paolini is the proud owner of 3 Bridges Yoga in Portsmouth. In our conversation, we dive into her CRAZY backstory, which involves getting robbed at gunpoint, a tough battle with cancer, illegally buying a home, and more. Despite this madness, she is perhaps the kindest human being on the planet, and Stephanie is someone I have immense respect for.

Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A Nashville-based musician whose music evokes the likes of James Taylor, Robbins has gained recognition from extensive touring and from his 2018 appearance on The Voice. In our conversation, we discuss his decision to leave the Seacoast for Nashville, the state of the music industry, the realities of touring, his songwriting process, and more. He also tries to get me canceled.

Jennifer Desrosiers is the CEO/Founder of Altitude Companies, as well as beloved Seacoast staples LANEY & LU, Ginger Fox Baking, and PALETTE. After spending 20 years climbing the ranks of soul-sucking corporate America, Desrosiers left that world behind in 2012 so she could pursue the "integrated lifestyle" she craved for herself. In our conversation, she gives advice to anyone who wants to take the leap, and we also talk about managing ambition, the keys to being a great leader, and what she hopes her legacy will be.
