Summary

Justin and JR take us back to beginning of Justin’s career, when a 17-year-old kid from Poyen, Arkansas, was discovered by a New Jersey transplant living in Nashville. Listen as Justin’s manager, Pete Hartung, shares two decades worth of stories from battling through language barriers to signing record deals on Justin’s wedding day all while operating under a gentlemen’s handshake agreement. The episode is capped off with a game of Truth or Dare with all the the ladies in Justin’s life—his wife Kate and his 3 daughters—and a special performance of "Outlaws Like Me" by Justin.
