59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 3: me just say that I am.

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: I am learning a lot, okay, And I just I said,

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I've always always to me, I just always knew I

62
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: was going to be in a group, and so like

63
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: it was just all things group always and so but

64
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: I've learned that you know, sometimes life just life, you

65
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and India and you're thrown into

66
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: new and different circumstances. But I feel like I've been

67
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: a bit of the poster channel for like do it anyway,

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: like you know, I was, I was, I was, I

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: went through one of the hardest seasons of my life,

70
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: and and even in the in the place, there were

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: times where I was like, I don't want to do

72
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: music anymore, like this, I just don't know if I

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: want to go back to it, and and and people

74
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: were like, you can't give up, Like you know, I

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: wake up and listen to your music every day. You

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: cannot give up, Okay, And so it was it was

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: such an inspiration. And so even when I didn't want

78
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: to do it, I did it anyway, And even when

79
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: I had a broken heart and I had to do

80
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: it anyway, and even even in the days that I

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to get I did it anyway, And which

82
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: brought me to my first single, Amazing Grace, And and

83
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: it showed me there were there was like it has

84
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: taken a life of its own, but it showed me

85
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: how many people were really like counting on me to

86
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: get back up. And they were like, cause, if she

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: can survive that, then I know I can survive what

88
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm going through.

89
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: So I've I've learned, I've learned to just you.

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: Know that that that uh, this life that we live,

91
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: even and especially as artists, it's.

92
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: So little about us.

93
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: I think, and it's about what we bring to other people.

94
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: And and it's there's so many people who live their

95
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: life through us, you know, from online and behind the

96
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: lens and behind the phone and the camera, and so

97
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: it's important for us to people watch how we how

98
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: we show up after after being ki down and after

99
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: being you know, what a lot of people would feel

100
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: like is defeated. They're watching to see if you get

101
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: back up. And so I've learned a that I can

102
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: get back up. And I learned that that you wake up,

103
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: you put one foot in front of the other, and

104
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: you may not have all the answers, but you keep going.

105
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: You certainly have you found your reason. And you mentioned

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 5: your new single, Amazing Grace, which is your own interpretation

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 5: of the song, what it means to you, and what

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 5: is it about the song that made it become your

109
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: testimony so to speak.

110
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: I believe that.

111
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: This this version of Amazing Grace, I believe is just

112
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: a reminder that God's amazing grace has always been there.

113
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: And I always say, you can ask anybody from any

114
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: religion if they have to believe in anything at all,

115
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: but you can ask him have they ever heard of

116
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: amazing Grace? And they'll probably tell you, yeah, like I've

117
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: heard of it or made I don't know it well,

118
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: but I've heard of it. And so but and I've

119
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: watched how year after year, in generation after generation, amazing

120
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: grace has carried us. And there are some of us say,

121
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: I tell people, when I was little, I was a knucklehead, okay,

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: and it was because my mama and my grandmother were

123
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: praying women that I that I'm really alive in here

124
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: today and so but it was it was amazing grace

125
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: that just covered me from season to season and from

126
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: from from.

127
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: You know, just from from year to year.

128
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: And and I think that I always say in that

129
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: opening line when it says, it hasn't been the best

130
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: of days, but I'm still singing Amazing Grace, Like that's

131
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: the heart. And I think when people hear that, it

132
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: sounds honest and it sounds real and it sounds genuine

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: and it sounds true, and you go, oh, no, like

134
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: this is my song because I've been having a hard

135
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: day to day, like you know, kids.

136
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: Are acting crazy, families going nuts.

137
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: Like, but but amazing Grace, I think I just I'm

138
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: so so so grateful that that gets to be my

139
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: first baby, Like, that's my first project as a solo artist,

140
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: and I'll forever be grateful for that because I think

141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: it's the thing that has connected.

142
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: Me more to my fans and connected me to you.

143
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: Know, not just connected me to my fans, but it

144
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: has expanded my uh, the the amount of fans, and

145
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: I just I'm grateful, Like, I'm just so grateful for that.

146
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 5: It's so relatable and it's so wonderful to hear your

147
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: take on the song, how you feel about it.

148
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: I love the single. Can we look forward to more releases? Really? There? Absolutely?

149
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: So I'm working on my next single, which is called

150
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: Every Season is Good, and it really is. The gist

151
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: of it is is that, you know a lot of

152
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: people get uncomfortable during winter time because it's cold, it's hard,

153
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, and just and sometimes some

154
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: seasons are just about surviving the season. But if you

155
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: slow down, there's something that Winner can teach you. And

156
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: then the second thing is is that Winner's got to come.

157
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: But the one thing that's for sure is that Spring's

158
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,119

231
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: been in the grind for like ten years, it's hard

232
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: to like discover what's new and what's uh, what's what's

233
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: what's happening. But now I said, now that I've got

Speaker 1: Laney Wilson.

239
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: Laney's a friend of mine and I saw I told

240
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 3: her a.

241
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: Little one of these days and we get when we

242
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: get to go to your house and we get to

243
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: sit at the ranch and.

244
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: Have coffee and just chit chat about everything.

245
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: But like I'm just but I'm always so excited to

246
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: see women like doing well. And even in my show,

247
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: I always try to take a minute and just highlight

248
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: a woman who's doing well in country music. And I say, like,

249
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: you know, I can't do any I don't know that

250
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: I can do anything about radio play and that it

251
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: plays mostly male country music. But what I can do

252
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: is I can take a moment in my show and say, look,

253
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: let me I want to highlight one of my colleague,

254
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: one of my female colleagues who's kicking butt. And you

255
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: know whoever it is in the moment, and so you know,

256
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: and I said, maybe that's a very small pebble in

257
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: the pond, but I just my my prayers that it

258
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: that it that it does that it that it does

259
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: make a difference, you know what I mean. And it's like,

260
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: as women, we need it. We got to really be

261
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: there for each other. But I think also in a

262
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: in a genre that has said, okay, there can only

263
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: be one at a time, like you know, okay, it's

264
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: your turn now, maybe later, but you know, but but

265
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: the minute that we go, you know what if it's

266
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: her turn, come on, Because I had I heard a

267
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: say in one time that said, you got to get

268
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: excited when the male man's delivering your neighbor their male

269
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: because that means he's in the neighborhood.

270
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: So if we can get.

271
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: Excited about one girl who's doing it, then guess what,

272
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: then that means he's in the neighbor He's in the neighborhood,

273
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: so maybe maybe some goodness is coming our way.

274
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 3: So I love that.

275
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 5: And that's where I love about the camaraderie with females

276
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 5: and country music because you don't really get that and

277
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 5: a lot of other genres. So the community with women

278
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: and country music supporting each other and livding is each

279
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 5: other up is so wonderful and important love that.

280
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 3: I love that.

281
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: So how have you been using your new platform to

282
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 5: foster the inspiration for a joyful life movement that you

283
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 5: have been building and advertising.

284
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what I just.

285
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just I'm just honored that I get to

286
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: be at this place. And I can say probably six

287
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: months ago, I did not see this. But I'm excited

288
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: that I get to be a part of this joyful

289
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: move like the movement of joy and and like I said,

290
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: like kind I said earlier, like I'm honored that I

291
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: get to be able to be on social media to

292
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: tell people, come on, good morning, come on.

293
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: I know yesterday was real full. We got this today,

294
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna do this together.

295
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: And so I I I and I pray that it

296
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: is exactly that I pray it's a movement because there's so.

297
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: Much harshness and and hard stuff and bad stuff going

298
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: on in the world right now.

299
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a there's a lot of goodness

300
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: that needs to be thrown back into the world. And

301
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: I hope that that that, uh, you know, when when

302
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: the when the dust settles that and it's all maybe

303
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: all said and done, that it says like she she

304
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: really did make a difference.

305
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: She really did brighten my day.

306
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: And so you know, I just I hope that you know,

307
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: maybe that's something that I'm on the forefront of and

308
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,600

328
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,800

329
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: phone call from Vince and you get so maybe it's

330
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: a five minute phone call, but if you listen and

331
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: and and there's no question that's too big, no question

332
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: that's too small, and he always makes the tom but

333
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: there's so much wisdom and and and he he has

334
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: a way.

335
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 3: Of just like encouraging you like no other.

336
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna have to go ahead and take Vince

337
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: on this walk to Nashville.

338
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: Absolutely, that's a wonderful person. And we just saw him

339
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 5: at the Raymond playing the UMG lunch and and even

340
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 5: when he's just playing one song, it sways a beautiful story.

341
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: And Ryan, it just stops you in your tracks, like

342
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 3: you just like you almost kind of stopped breathing for

343
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: a minute. It's like, oh, you just kind of take

344

346
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: to say, Vince.

347
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,960
