    Ep 10 Barrett Baber, Singer Songwriter

    Episode 10: Dreams, Grit, and Growth with Barrett Baber  Apologizes for the poor audio, we had some complications but this episode is too good not to share with the world. Thanks for listening!!

Listeners will remember Barrett from Season 9 of The Voice, where his soulful tone and unmistakable style captured hearts across the country. In this episode, he reflects on that life-changing experience—what it taught him about the industry, about pressure, and about staying grounded when the spotlight gets bright. Barrett also opens up about his brand-new upcoming album, giving a behind-the-scenes look at the sound, stories, and influences shaping this season of his artistry. While many know him for his country roots, he shares how R&B and rap have deeply influenced his musical DNA, helping craft a style that feels authentic and uniquely his own. Beyond the music, this conversation is anchored in what matters most—family, faith, and staying true to who you are. Barrett speaks candidly about balancing career ambition with being present for the people he loves, and how Arkansas will always be part of his foundation, no matter how far the road takes him. For aspiring songwriters and dreamers headed to Nashville, Barrett doesn’t sugarcoat the journey. He offers real, practical advice about perseverance, humility, and the grit required to chase your calling in a city full of talent. Episode 10 is a powerful reminder that dreams are built one faithful step at a time—and that success means nothing if you lose yourself along the way. https://www.barrettbabermusic.com/ https://youtu.be/AOMcJ1WW-0c Support the show Want to connect further...

    Ep 9 Lindsay Blaze, Owner of Gas Boss

    Episode 9: Turning a Pit Stop into a Place of Belonging with Lindsay Blaze In Episode 9 of Shutter’s Full Podcast, hosts Alisa and Brittany sit down with Lindsay Blaze, the owner and proprietor of Gas Boss in Bon Aqua, Tennessee, for a conversation that is both deeply moving and wildly inspiring. At its core, this episode is about connection—real, human, soul-level connection—and what can happen when someone has the courage to reimagine what a place can be. Lindsay is a curator of story and branding by nature, shaped through years of travel and creative work that sharpened her eye for the raw and real in life. About 4 years ago, she stepped into one of her boldest chapters yet: taking over a rural gas station with a dark reputation as the number one drug pickup and drop-off point for three surrounding counties. What stood there before was marked by fear and avoidance. What stands there now is something entirely different. Under Lindsay’s leadership, Gas Boss has been transformed into an experience rooted in joy, safety, and genuine welcome. With each passing year, thoughtful additions have expanded the vision—an ice cream shop, a bait and ammo shack, and a general store—each one intentionally designed to invite people to slow down, stay awhile, and connect. But the true heartbeat of Gas Boss isn’t what’s sold; it’s how people are seen. Throughout the episode, Lindsay shares her heart for creating spaces where both staff and customers are valued, known, and invited to be exactly who they are. Her leadership is grounded in presence, courage, and the belief that small, consistent acts of kindness can change a community. This conversation is a powerful reminder that redemption doesn’t always look loud or flashy. Sometimes, it looks like a country gas station in Bon Aqua—rebuilt with love, vision, and an open door. Ya'll go make sure you stop by and experience Gas Boss for yourself.  Gas Boss 7328 SR-100, Bon Aqua, TN @gassbosstn on Instagram https://youtu.be/lVTB8ZWR5GU Support the show Want to connect further...
