 Born in Kentucky and raised in Wake Forest, NC, Blake Wood draws from personal experiences to shape the songs he writes and sings. A true reflection of everything small town and middle-America with songs such as ‘Know You By Your Truck' which tells the literal story of knowing who's around town on any given night just by which pickup trucks you spot. If you attended a house party or bonfire around Wake Forest a few years ago, there's a good chance you might have seen Blake pulling out the guitar to entertain his friends. He started playing when he was 14 or 15 and doesn't go anywhere without it now. He drew inspiration for performing music from his idols in the 80's and 90's country genre. A traditionalist at heart, Blake perfectly combines the sound of today and the storytelling and emotion of yesterday in his songs. Music wasn't an accident for Blake, it's part of his DNA. He has been around it since he was young. Born into a highly musical family that includes 3 older brothers, his mom Lori, and dad Steven, Blake cut his teeth writing, singing, and recording; long before Nashville would notice. Blake graduated high school and followed pace with most of the other kids his age by enrolling in college at Wake Tech for business marketing. It took exactly 1 class for Blake to realize that wasn't the future for him. Part of that draw came from visiting his older brother Jon who had already moved from North Carolina to Nashville to write and record music. Seeing Jon's path and learning how Nashville could expand the music opportunities for himself, Blake followed his heart and moved. As a songwriter, Blake writes what he lives. Some writers and singers must pretend to know about certain lifestyles to pull them off well. Blake can draw on what he knows from experience like tearing up backroads and off-roading, wetting a line fishing for large mouth bass, and driving old trucks. Blake still drives his 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 with almost 300,000 miles on it. Following your heart and your passion may not be the quick path, but it's the right path. The people in Nashville have noticed Blake; he signed his first publishing deal as a songwriter in early 2023. That was followed quickly by his first record deal. He's signed to the new Deluge Records Nashville (DRN). Support the show

Today, we welcome Blake Wood, co-founder of APAY, to the podcast. Blake reached out to me back in 2018 to discuss the beginnings of what would become APAY and asking for advice.  At that point, Blake and his co-founder, Owen Brady, were still working in the bank and trying to figure out how to build their company.  They had a little bit of seed money but were trying to map their path forward to helping people better understand and manage their student loans. Fast forward to now and APAY was acquired this fall by Ramsey Solutions – Dave Ramsey's company.  It's a great match for them as Dave has long taught debt management as a solution to wealth creation.  It's an exciting step for them as they move to Tennessee to help bring their APAY app to the entire Ramsey Solutions audience. In our podcast today we learn about the beginnings of APAY and how they tackled various aspects of getting the company off the ground.  APAY became a way for people to better understand their student loans and tackle paying them off in the best possible way.  But before they were able to build it, they talked many potential users and even turned ‘know it all skeptics' into additional subscribers on their waiting list. Most importantly, we learn about their challenge during the pandemic.  The entire business model was turned upside down the minute student loan payments were suspended in March 2020.  And when the suspension of payments was extended to January 2022 it put further pressure on the business. Listen early in the podcast for his mention of his grandmother.  Then stick around till the end to hear as we wrap our discussion. I hope you enjoy this one.  Blake and Owen tackled an enormous problem, fought through a completely unforeseen pandemic that could have toppled their business, but they kept grinding through and ended up in a great place for their users, investors and the two of them.   William Bissett is the owner of and an Investment Advisor Representative of Portus Wealth Advisors, a Registered Investment Adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

TASCHEN's monthly serving of art, books, and exciting interviews is essential listening for culture lovers everywhere!

In this special episode of the #TASCHENpodcast, we’re joined by photographer and filmmaker Blake Wood to remember his close friend Amy Winehouse. With her deep, expressive vocals and raw lyrics, the London-born singer and songwriter rocketed to fame in the early 2000s. Her 2006 album, Back to Black, won five Grammys and spawned a number of hit singles, among them Rehab, Tears Dry on Their Own, and the album’s title track. But international acclaim also brought difficulties; Winehouse became one of the most hounded figures in tabloid culture, with near-constant scrutiny of her romantic life, as well as her battles with bulimia and alcohol and drug addiction—a battle that would ultimately cost her her life. Now, seven years after the singer’s death, Wood, one of her closest friends and oftentimes flatmate, has published a collection of his personal photos of Amy to pay tribute to the “loving and caring and loyal” woman he knew behind the celebrity headlines. Blake joins us from New York to talk about their friendship, fame, the media’s treatment of female artists, and the different side to Amy Winehouse he hopes to share through his photographs.
