    Episode 8 | Surround Yourself With Greatness - 5 Minute Friday

    This is the very first 5 minute Friday episode. My goal for these episodes is to give you 5 minutes of encouragement for you to end your week with. Today is about surrounding yourself with greatness. The only way to reach your full potential is to surround yourself with those better than you. Involving people that you can learn from will no doubt help you reach your goals faster. That’s why you must find the people that make you want to be your best. Be a student of the success you want.

    Pre Season Episode 3 | Chase What You Want vs Take What You Get

    I talk about how I got my first paid gig at my local church. I name drop Mickey Guyton’s grammy nominated project again because I’m super proud. Then I eventually talk about negotiating a publishing deal and recognizing my true value. Remember to only let that God voice inside of YOU determine your worth and never limit yourself to another's perception.

    Pre Season Episode 2 | Create Your Opportunities

    I talk about my journey starting out in Nashville and the key steps I had to take to get my first publishing deal, my first pro guitar gig, my first cut, my first number one song and everything in between! I cover so much in this episode but it comes down to this... You can either wait for your ship to come in or just build your own ship with YOUR dreams and goals. Create a life you love!

    Pre Season Episode 1 | Visualize Your Dream And Attack That Beast

    This is a mostly un-edited podcast. I eventually talk about how one of my productions is nominated for a grammy this year! If you don't want to listen to me ramble then just skip to the last 5 mins! We all go through down seasons, I go through some of the key things that help me through the tougher times... I have always believed that we create our reality through visualizing our dreams. When we're going through the trenches it's important to visualize our most desired outcome and attack that goal. I get real on this episode and try to end it too soon.
