What's up? It's up? It's Granger Smith.

This is the Granger Smith podcast, episode 16.

A lot to cover today. This is a good one.

This is a story I've been wanting to tell for a while now. Here we go. So if you are

new to this podcast, this might not be the best one to start with. You might want to go

backwards a little bit because I've been

telling a story that's progressively going throughout these podcast and so a lot of

this stuff might not make sense now this podcast is not always going to be this kind of format. I'm not always going to just

tell stories about how I got from where I was to how you know me now in the music business.

And personally. I'm eventually going to get to doing interviews. There's

all kinds of different components I'm going to cover but before I do any of that I

feel like I need to tell you where I came from. How I got to be the person you found on the radio or

YouTube or social media, whatever it was, you need to know where I came from.

And it's important for me to tell it,

because telling it reminds me of, you know,

the path that I'm on is forged.

It's forged in failure and fire. It was worth the ride.

I'm on the bus, the back of my bus, Wildflower. I'm in South Dakota.

It's February. I'm on the Kane Brown tour. It is really, really cold. Pulling up my phone right now.

Okay, it's not that bad. It's 15 degrees. The forecast has been at like zero and I've seen it at

negative 45 when I was looking at this date. Tomorrow is North Dakota and

it's going to be really cold there.
