About this episode

Expect to learn what HARDY’s philosophy for his career and life is, what most people do not understand about how the Nashville scene works, how to balance the unique tension between being a songwriter and an artist, the story of the bus crash that almost killed HARDY, how to use vulnerability and turn it into a strength and much more… Timestamps: (0:00) The Trait That Takes You Further Than Talent (8:37) Inside Nashville’s Songwriting Machine (12:57) Behind the Scenes of HARDY’s Creative Process (19:39) The Pain Behind Country Music (30:45) The Crash That Changed HARDY’s Life (41:54) Why Trauma Takes Time to Process (49:56) Why Vulnerability Isn’t a Weakness (01:01:57) What’s Next For HARDY?
