Summary

Nathaniel Rateliff took the world by storm with his hit song, “S.O.B.” and is now a household name. Before he was selling out multiple nights at Red Rocks Amphitheater, he was a janitor, trucker, and landscaper. When he put all his chips on the table to pursue music, it clearly paid off. Lance and Nathaniel sat down at the Skylark Lounge in Denver, which Rateliff co-owns, to have a down-to-earth conversation about how he got here.

0:00.0	My guest today, the great Nathaniel Rateliff, what a career this guy has had, you know, a lot of
0:09.7	folks in this business, they sort of know when they're in their 20s or 30s that they're going to make it,
0:15.4	they're going to be big. And then at some point they're not big. His trajectory is almost exactly the
0:21.8	opposite. This guy hustled away for seemingly decades. And I mean, that decades playing music
0:29.8	in different bands, traveling around, just trying to make it all the while holding odd jobs,
0:36.8	worked at a trucking company, worked for a gardener. And I don't know, sound like he was pretty damn

1:15.5	Was it was a real pleasure? Nathaniel's a soft spoken, but I enjoyed the heck out of the conversation.

1:38.8	Every single person that you ask about Nathaniel right, says the same thing.
1:45.5	He's a fucking amazing guy. Think about that, right? I mean, every single person. So I was super excited
1:52.4	to meet him and can't wait for his new work and been for the world to, you know,

2:04.1	So enjoy this conversation with Nathaniel. And I'll see you guys soon.
2:10.9	Today's show brought to you by 10,000. Now this is, there has become my go-to workout apparel.
2:18.2	I work out all the time, especially in the in the middle of winter here in Colorado. But
