Episode 56 - Mike Pesce & Aaron Wygonik | School of Rock

In this episode, Brian has a beer with the franchisees of Delaware's School of Rock, Mike Pesce and Aaron Wygonik. The School of Rock Method™ has taught hundreds of thousands of students around the world to play music since 1998. Mike and Aaron walk us through their initial struggles, opening up just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, how they eventually were able to secure financial government assistance, why they decided to buy-in to The School of Rock franchise, and the reasons why they didn’t throw in the towel. Find out why they put on shows to teach music, not teach music to put on a show, and how it feels to expose young kids to classic rock bands like the Beatles, Green Day, The Who and The Rolling Stones.
