 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

You'll have to pardon our Photoshop skills and settle on having a very detailed explanation of the Hardrock 100 Lottery with Blake Wood. Blake has a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Berkeley along with being an amazing ultra runner in his own right, so you know that this is going to be a very detailed explanation.... Chris and Dan sat down with Blake for a great and detailed conversation about how the lottery is conducted as well as how it has changed over the years. From the humble beginnings of how the lottery started to how it has evolved into what it is today, we also dove into some speculation about what happens to the lottery in the future! Remember, the lottery closes on November 12th, so get your name in!

Wood said he saw firsthand how a lack of advisor engagement affected his mother after his father's recent passing. Lumiant aims to fix that problem.

FIFOZero grew from Blake's own experiences in the mining industry and the challenges that he experienced – including the suicide of a workmate. We dive into how his program makes mental health issues accessible and open for miners.

In this episode I sit down with Zach Cambron, Blake Wood and Keenan Huppert. I'd like to give a good explanation of what happens, but you never know what happens in the night time. Keenan's famous last words. LOL Sit back and just enjoy an hour of shop talk and sideways comments at each other. No more explanation is needed. Bear with us as we were all tired and still got it done for your entertainment.

In this episode I sit down with Blake Wood of Woody's metal polishing. This episode is short but sweet. He is a firefighter by trade that started polishing on the side. But now the polishing has started to take over. I hear this over and over in this industry. The polishing world is so much bigger than we can all comprehend. There is so much more room for so many more polishers to join the industry. And Blake proves that. Hearing his story gave me a fresh breath of life. Sit back and enjoy.

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.

In Episode number 2, host Joey O'Dell talks to George Helou, a life coach, published author and public speaker. Georges program EP7 aims to help evolve the personal development space offering tools to help understand you. His patented "Reinvent You" process is amazing and looks to help people understand the feelings, thoughts and actions by going through a process that brings out absurd belief systems and gives you a chance to re-write those beliefs to set you up for success. George has also recently co-founded FIFOzero with Blake Wood to help reduce the suicide rate in the FIFO (Fly in Fly out) industry to Zero. We go in depth in talking about depression in this industry as well as taking a look at how both George and Blake have gone in getting this fantastic initiative off the ground.

This week we meet R U OK? ambassador & co-founder of FIFO Zero, Blake Wood. Blake Opens Up about his father constantly telling him he was a mistake & how that unresolved emotional abuse eventually lead to alcoholism, depression & suicidality. Blake also Opens Up about the loss of his friend to suicide & how that has driven him to save lives in the FIFO industry. *FIFO - fly in fly out   Open Up:   lachlan@openupgroup.com   Website: https://openuppodcast.com   Free FB community: http://bit.ly/MakingMentalHealthMainstream   Facebook: http://bit.ly/OpenUpPodcastFB   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/open_up_podcast/   iTunes: http://bit.ly/openuppodcast-iTunes   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7m4z7MgzinHhGf4r5tVpgz   Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/openuppodcast   Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/open-up-podcast-2/open-up-podcast   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcTovdKChwndCNwGeXDHxGw?view_as=subscriber

Not only has he finished Hardrock 100 22 times (!), but he also holds an obscure record for road Marathons! Listen to Blake's comments on the cancellation of this year's race, and recollections on a few remarkable FKT's, from the John Muir Trail, to being the first person to run cross country from Badwater to the top of Mt Whitney, AND the first person to finish the Nolans 14. "This was before cell phones. Dad and I were talking to each other on FRS radios." Blake was the 2nd/3rd ever finisher of Barkley. Blake says the 5th lap of Barkley was "like a party" - he is the definition of casual, self-effacing: "Do good work when you're young, and then live a long time".

This week I am joined by the wonderful Blake Wood!We discuss FIFO Zero which is striving to eradicate suicide in the mining community for good, how community can create connection and how we work together to start to look at mental health as being as important (if not more important) as physical health. We discuss Blake’s experience and what helped him on his journey including how understanding why we do what we do can help to transform us from living as a product of our upbringing into becoming aware and more than what we ever thought possible.

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.
