Jed Talks Jed Wyatt

This weeks guest is an independent singer-songwriter based in Nashville, he is king of the metaphor, and has a work ethic second to none: SPENCER CRANDALL

Jed kicks off the episode off with a little bit of admiration for Spencer, and all that he has accomplished as an independent artist so far in his career. Then the two chat about what it meant to Spencer when he was played on Sirius XM Radio's The Highway, what it takes to find your authentic artistry, and Spencer drops some wisdom around the importance of failure. Next, the two discuss pesky internet trolls, how to best affect change, and how Tik Tok changed Spencer's life. Spencer and Jed close out the episode by discussing Spencer's end goal, the process of getting there, and whether or not Spencer will ever consider signing with a major record label.

This week's guest is an American hero. He is a Navy SEAL veteran, elite sniper, a singer-songwriter, and has some incredible stories to tell: Josh Jakub

Jed kicks off the episode with some appreciation, gratitude, and acknowledgment of Josh's service to our country as a Navy SEAL. Then the two dive into Josh's music career, whether he wants to be an artist or songwriter long-term, and his preference of writing solo or writing in a group. Next, they get into Josh's military service. Josh explains how he got started in the Navy, the process of becoming a SEAL, and what the hardest portion of the training was. Then Josh shares some stories from his deployments, from taxi cab getaway cars in Columbia to nearly getting blown up in Afghanistan on multiple occasions. Josh also shares the one thing he wishes more people understood about people who have served in the military...

Jed and Josh close out the episode by looping back around to music. Josh explains how he got started in Nashville, when he realized this songwriter dream might actually be plausible, and finding the balance between work and play, in a city that begs for more play.

This week's guest is one of Jed's role models and someone who influenced the original spark for Jed's love of music. He was the lead guitarist for the band Boys Like Girls by the age of 17, and also knows nothing about lawn care: Paul DiGiovanni

These two kick off the episode by talking about their shared doctor, Dr. Web (aka the Internet), Jed's recent scare with sun poisoning in a Kroger parking lot, and Paul's lawn care business that he knows nothing about but has an epic name for. Then they move onto some BLG talk: making the band, tour stories, and the touchy topic of "WHAT HAPPENED TO BLG?!"

Next, Jed shares a redneck story from his childhood, Paul talks about his motorcycle days, and then they both share their dream car (which happens to be the same). Finally, they close out the episode talking about some of Paul's favorite moments as a touring musician, how he got into producing music, and he drops the hook that there might be some new BLG music on the horizon…

Sean and Jed are just kickin' back as friends do. The episode starts with Sean explaining why some of his current music doesn't accurately describe who he is, Jed hits on the audacity of internet trolls, and the two discuss what it would be like taking a bare-knuckle right hook from Mike Tyson. Next, Sean gives some advice for people who are moving to Nashville in pursuit of a music career, he shares what it's REALLY like having a record deal, and he tells his secret to making it in the music industry.
