Episode 46: Emma Zinck
<p>Emma Zinck moved to Nashville from Fredericksburg, Virginia six years ago with nothing but a guitar — and built her career the hard way, one Broadway bar set and writing room at a time.</p><p>In this episode, Emma talks about the grind of establishing herself in Music City, the leap of faith that brought her to Nashville in the first place, and how her persistence caught the attention of hitmaker Bridgette Tatum (writer of Jason Aldean's "She's Country"), leading to her first publishing deal with SoNash. Emma also opens up about the craft of songwriting and what it takes to develop your own voice while learning from artists who've already had the hits.</p><p>Listen as artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs turn their dreams into a life on the open road.</p><p>Check out Emma’s music: <a href="https://www.emmazinck.com/">https://www.emmazinck.com/</a></p><p>Check out our sponsor: <a href="http://usrentalvans.com">https://</a><a href="http://usrentalvans.com">usrentalvans.com</a></p>

Episode 45: Bodie
<p>Bodie didn't set out to make Christian music — he set out to make honest music, and eventually those became the same thing. The Southern California singer-songwriter finished runner-up on NBC's The Voice Season 22, then signed with Provident Label Group and released the Happy to Be Here EP. His single "Whisper and the Wind" climbed into the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart, surpassed 23 million global streams, and won the Grand Prize at the International Songwriting Competition — the first Christian artist in the competition's 23-year history to take the top honor. In this episode, Bodie talks about stepping into his calling, life on the road, and making faith-driven art that doesn't fence anyone out.</p><p><br></p><p>Check out Bodie’s music: <a href="https://www.bodie.live/">https://www.bodie.live/</a></p><p>Check out our sponsor: <a href="http://usrentalvans.com">https://</a><a href="http://usrentalvans.com">usrentalvans.com</a></p>

From there came Talladega Nights, Thank You for Smoking, Get Smart, Krampus, The Goldbergs, Twin Peaks, and voice roles on American Dad and F is for Family.</p><p>These days he's on the road constantly — touring his stand-up from Phoenix to Fort Worth to Milwaukee, running Office Trivia nights in character as Todd Packer, and co-hosting the Big Slick charity weekend with Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, Rob Riggle, and Eric Stonestreet.</p><p>In this episode, David opens up about building a career from scratch, the Second City years, and what it actually looks like to keep showing up for the craft after four decades in the business.</p>
