Reflect w/ Ed Fassio

The Dream Was Loud: A True Story of Kids, Chaos, and Chasing the Spark | a Reflect Podcast by Ed Fassio

Ed Fassio

What if the thing that reignites your soul isn’t found in a boardroom... but in a garage full of teenage chaos? 

In this episode, Ed Fassio recounts the wild, true story of how a high-stakes Microsoft career collided with a drum kit, a stack of amps, and four determined kids—his kids, who would become the band "Control the Chaos". What began as just another long, corporate day in Vegas transformed into a decade-long ride that stretched from suburban noise complaints to the hallowed halls of The Village Studios in L.A.—and eventually, toward the gates of the Grammys.

This isn’t just a music story. It’s a family epic. A mission. A love letter to chasing what matters—no matter how late the hour or loud the volume.

Late nights. Long drives. Riffs, risk, and relentless belief. Listen to how this modern day "Partridge Family" assembled into one cohesive unit, putting everything on the line in this truly inspiring story about what it truly takes to chase dreams.

So whether you’re suited up and sleepwalking through success, or quietly holding onto your spark in the shadows—this episode dares you to turn it up.

Because when legacy calls… sometimes it sounds like heavy metal.

🎧 Plus: Hear the track that started it all—“Rise Again” by Control the Chaos.
