Howdy everybody? Welcome to the Granger Smith podcast. Thank you for watching and

listening. Thank you for all the support. I love this thing. I love the show. I love to

get on here and and be able to use this platform to speak my mind and talk to some guests and

talk to some friends and answer your questions. I do have to say this is

episode 44 if you don't know anything about this podcast if you stumbled on here for the first time

I encourage you to go backwards a little bit at some point pace yourself go backwards it

starts all the way back at episode one I started telling the story of where I came from and how I got to be where I am now.

And that is with music and my family and my life and here at Yee, the brand.

So I started this podcast, not really thinking

that this was going to be a ton of episodes. Now I think it is. It's going to be a ton of episodes. But back then, I wanted a long-form explanation of some deep stories from me of where I came from because I was so used to being on

radio shows where they would say to tell us a little bit about yourself and I

would say well where do how do you answer that question if you know in the back of your mind you have about

ten seconds of radio time to tell them where you came from or who you are or what's your

music about? And so I thought, you know when I'll start a

podcast, I'll answer some of these questions myself and just do it in long form

where it takes a while and I could really get into the depths of where I came from.

That turned into story after story after story album after album, song after song, and it led into bringing some some guests on and then it led on to

where we are now where we're on all podcast apps and YouTube as well so you

could actually see it and hear it if you want

want and it's something I love doing every single Monday morning so this is hopefully on your drive to work

or getting your week started on a Monday. So thank you for being with me. I'm grateful to

have it. The most important thing I could tell you right now about me and my life is we have an album
