TrulySignificant.com presents Christopher Wyze. Chris is debuting two new Christmas songs. He is coming back to our studio for a second time on the heals of winning the 2025 Blues Blast Music Awards. Enjoy our conversation on what's important in life. We riff about Dr. Viktor Frankl, Sigmund Freud, and Bill Halamandaris. Christopher Wyze & the Tellers has won the 2025 Blues Blast Music Award for Best New Artist Debut Album for their thirteen-track release, Stuck in the Mud. The album, which landed on multiple blues charts around the world, received critical acclaim for its raw storytelling and powerful, fresh take on contemporary blues.Presented by Blues Blast Magazine, the Blues Blast Music Awards recognize excellence across the spectrum of blues styles and artists. A panel of blues industry professionals select nominees. Fan voting from around the world determines the winners. Joining Wyze & the Tellers in this year's winner's circle include Tab Benoit, Derek Trucks, Charlie Musselwhite, Shemekia Copeland, Bobby Rush, and Keb' Mo,' among others.“We haven't toured. We made a record of our original music — and let the music do the traveling,” shares frontman Christopher Wyze. “People told us we had to be out there gigging for the record to get noticed. We wrote, recorded, released, and built a fanbase around the world without ever hitting the road.”The band of veteran blues musicians was formed specifically to record ‘Stuck in the Mud,' with members all meeting for the first time in the studio. In the time between recording ‘Stuck in the Mud' and their follow-up live album, ‘LIVE in CLARKSDALE,' they played a single live gig — the live album performance – a fact that has made the group's rise all the more improbable.The band recorded ‘Stuck in the Mud' in two of America's most iconic musical locations: Clarksdale, Mississippi and Muscle Shoals, Alabama — both deeply rooted in the blues and roots traditions that inspire Wyze's sound. It burst onto the scene in late summer of 2024 and quickly gained traction worldwide, with listeners streaming in 90 countries. A string of radio and streaming charting successes propelled the album, along with nine of its singles. The album landed #1 hits with “Back to Clarksdale” (RMR) and the title track, “Stuck in the Mud” (iTunes Blues Charts: Germany, Mexico). It climbed onto multiple Blues Charts: in U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and Australia. ‘Stuck in the Mud' ended the year at #38 out of the Top 200 Blues Albums ranked by Roots Music Report (RMR) – one of just 3 albums by debut artists to break into the top 50.“When I first heard Christopher Wyze, I felt something raw, honest, deeply rooted in the blues – and unique,” said Johnny Phillips. “I've seen more than a few acts through the years. He's not trying to be anyone else. He's telling his stories — doing it with soul, grit, and a harmonica that cuts straight through. We're proud to have him on the Big Radio Records label. This award is a testament to what happens when you make good music.”Christopher Wyze & the Tellers are currently working on new material and planning select live performances in 2026.Listen to ‘Stuck In The Mud': cwyze.lnk.to/StuckInTheMudAlbumPRFor more information, visit christopherwyzeandthetellers.com.About the Blues Blast Music Awards:Founded in 2008, the Blues Blast Music Awards are presented annually by Blues Blast Magazine, the largest weekly internet blues publication in the world, with over 44,000 subscribers across all 50 U.S. states and more than 90 countries.

TrulySignificant.com and co-host Carvin Bogardus celebrate the wonderful career journey of actor Kurt Yue. Enjoy learning the inside story through Carvin's insightful questions. Kurt Yue was born in Beijing, China and moved to the United States with his parents when he was four years old. He spent much of his upbringing in places like Iowa, Arizona, Ohio (Cleveland) as his family moved for work.Academically and early-career, he studied computer science/engineering, worked as a software developer/consultant in Cleveland, Ohio for nearly a decade. His entry into acting was somewhat serendipitous: he took an acting class for fun, not expecting to switch careers. But the interest grew, he got an agent, started auditioning for local commercials/training videos, and eventually moved to Atlanta to pursue film/TV work.Acting Career & Notable WorkYue has built a diverse acting portfolio. He has credits in shows such as Cobra Kai, Black Widow (though the reference came up in his business profile) and (notably) a recurring role on Will Trent.In his interview he mentions his role as “Pete Chin” on Will Trent (a member of the cast) and how the character evolves into more personality and connection with the team over time.Beyond acting, he founded “The Acting Career Center” (a YouTube channel + membership/community) where he teaches aspiring actors about the business and craft of acting. What Makes Him Stand OutThe transition from tech/corporate to film/TV actor is relatively rare; his background gives him a unique perspective on both craft and business.He is not just acting but also building a creator/educator identity (via his channel and membership), which broadens his influence beyond just onscreen roles.He emphasizes mindset and process: in interview he shares lessons such as “nobody knows what they're doing,” “don't tie your self-worth to booking a job,” “enjoy the process,” On Will Trent, he highlights that his character is reserved (matching part of himself) and works in an “office environment” setting, drawing parallels from his corporate days.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Truly Significant presents the one and only Homer Hickam, best selling author of multiple books including Rocket Boys that was adapted for the feature movie October Sky. He was born in a small West Virginia coal town called Coalwood — a place where dreams were supposed to be buried as deep as the mines themselves. His daddy ran the mine, his mama ran the house, and young Homer Hickam? Well… he ran outside one October night in 1957 and looked up. There, streaking across the heavens, was Sputnik. And that—ladies and gentlemen—was the spark that lit a boy's heart on fire. While other boys were learning to swing pickaxes, Homer was learning to launch rockets. He and his friends—the “Rocket Boys”—turned a scrap heap into a laboratory, a coal-town canyon into a launch pad, and failure after failure into something far greater: faith in possibility.They were ridiculed by some, doubted by most. But Homer believed that curiosity was a kind of courage. He believed that science and wonder could lift a man out of his circumstances, without losing sight of where he came from. And years later, after college, after the Vietnam War, after NASA… Homer Hickam came home—not just to Coalwood, but to America's imagination.His memoir Rocket Boys became the book that inspired the film October Sky. A story that reminded us all that genius can bloom anywhere, that small towns can grow big dreams, and that sometimes—just sometimes—the most significant discoveries aren't found in outer space… …but within ourselves.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.
