In this episode, we sit down with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Chad King, one half of the hit-making duo, A Great Big World. While millions know him for the global anthem "Say Something," few realize that Chad's journey to the stage has been defined by a quiet, parallel battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Chad opens up about the day his world changed with an MS diagnosis and how he transformed fear into a catalyst for intentional living. We dive into the physical realities of touring with a chronic illness—from the specific accommodations he makes to protect his voice and energy to the ways he's adapted his performance style. Above all, his legendary optimism shines through as he discusses why he believes a diagnosis doesn't have to be an ending, but a new way to sing. Chad shares the physical symptoms he first noticed and why he urges everyone—no matter how busy their career—to stop ignoring the "small" things before they become big problems. It is a conversation filled with kindness, humor, and infectious positivity – a vital reminder that your health is your most important instrument. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, kindness and finding joy in every moment! Also – Don't miss Chad's most personal work in his new solo EP—a project born directly from the pages of his private journals!

Ep 253 | 800,000 acres burned, 40,000 cattle displaced, and entire communities evacuated — the fallout from the Nebraska wildfires has just begun. This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara share how the ag community is coming together to support them as they recover from the largest wildfire in state history. You'll also hear stories from their recent travels, starting with the largest gathering of farmers and ranchers in White House history all the way to Dutch dairy farms that will make you rethink everything you think you know about European agriculture. Plus, find out which Grammy-award winning singer has been farming for 20+ years (and where you've probably eaten some of their produce). What We Discovered This Week
In this episode, Mindie sits down with Grammy Award-winning producer, composer, and author Barry Goldstein for a rich conversation about music as a tool for healing, heart coherence, creative flow, and energetic management. Barry shares his unlikely journey (from house music and hip hop in the Bronx, to winning a Grammy with Les Paul, to pioneering the use of music and sound as medicine) and offers deeply practical wisdom for entrepreneurs looking to protect their energy and bring their biggest visions into the world.Episode HighlightsFrom the Bronx to the Grammy stage — Barry grew up with a love of music planted by his mother at the piano, learned guitar in the '70s (sporting what he calls "the Jaffer," a Jewish Afro), and eventually won a Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental working alongside Les Paul, the inventor of the electric guitar.Burnout led to breakthrough — After achieving success in club music and hip hop production, Barry hit a wall. Determined to reconnect with the joy of music, he set his metronome to 60 BPM and began composing long, unstructured soundscapes, unknowingly pioneering what we now understand as heart coherence music.The science of sound and heart coherence — Barry breaks down how music at 60 BPM can synchronize your heart rate, slow your breathing, and produce smooth, orderly heart rhythms (the very definition of heart coherence) while simultaneously shifting the brain into alpha and theta waves associated with creativity and flow state.Music as energetic management — Barry reframes music not just as art or medicine, but as a tool for scheduling and protecting your energy throughout the day. He lays out a simple "three meals a day" approach: an activating song in the morning, a mid-day reset during your energy dip, and 60 BPM music in the evening to wind down and unlock insight before sleep.Creativity belongs to everyone — Barry makes the case that creativity isn't reserved for artists. Every interaction, every moment of connection, ripples outward in ways we can't always see. He encourages listeners to carve out even five minutes a day for their vision and watch momentum build.Embrace the edge — Barry's closing message to entrepreneurs on the precipice of something new: the edge is exactly where you want to be. Whether it leads to a fall or to soaring, the gift is in being there at all, alive to possibility and in motion on your HeartPath.
Team Simon here! As we take a short hiatus, A Bit of Optimism will return with brand-new episodes on March 24, 2026. Until then, we're revisiting some of the conversations you loved and we still think about long after the microphones turned off. This week, we're rewinding to Simon's conversation with the wildly creative and endlessly curious Jacob Collier. To create something truly original, do we build something new or break what came before? Perhaps the answer is both—simultaneously. Jacob Collier does exactly that. A songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Grammy Award winner, Jacob has built a career on blending structure with spontaneity. He's known for turning entire concert halls into three-part choirs, transforming audiences from spectators into collaborators. His album "Djesse Volume 4" was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards, alongside icons like Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift. Although Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" won, Jacob snagged his seventh Grammy for his rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Simon sat down with Jacob in a music studio just days before the 2025 Grammys, surrounded by pianos and possibility. What unfolded was more than a conversation about music. It was a masterclass in creativity, about holding opposites at once, embracing imperfection, and having the courage to follow curiosity wherever it leads. If you've ever wondered how creativity really works or how to find your own voice without losing what came before—this one's worth another listen. This… is A Bit of Optimism. --------------------------- For more on Jacob, check out: http://jacobcollier.com @jacobcollier ---------------------------

My guest on this week's Bitesize episode is Sara Watkins, who joins me to talk about I'm With Her's Grammy winning album 'Wild and Clear and Blue'. It's an album I really love (and a conversation I loved too) and I wanted to put something out to celebrate not only the Grammy win, but also the Grammy they won for the opening track 'Ancient Light'.Sara talks about the process behind writing the record, which began to take shape shortly after the pandemic, why collaboration was so important and the central themes that emerged during the process. We also talk about community and connection in music and how the line between audience and stage is a little thinner in folk music than for some other formats.This comes from a longer conversation we had in 2025. You'll find the full interview with Sara here.Sara also mentions an interview I did with her bandmate Sarah Jarosz, about her album 'Blue Heron Suite'.For more info on I'm With Her, including upcoming tour dates and to buy I'm With Her vinyl, CDs and merch, visit imwithherband.comFor regular updates follow Sara on Instagram and Facebook Support the show===Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)

What does it cost to walk away from one of Hollywood’s most powerful legal positions to pursue your true passion? Steve Bardwil spent years as Chief Counsel for Walt Disney Studios, overseeing legal affairs for Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and more—negotiating billion-dollar deals and working alongside industry titans like Steve Jobs, Alan Bergman, and Kevin Feige. But behind the prestigious business cards and high-stakes meetings, he was writing songs, leading a band, and wrestling with a question that wouldn’t let go: What if there’s more? Welcome to the Takin A Walk podcast and join Buzz Knight on this inspiring music story with singer-songwriter Steve Bardwil. In 2024, Steve Bardwil made the decision that seemed crazy to everyone around him—he left Disney to pursue music full-time. One year later, he released his critically acclaimed debut album “Nothing But Time,” produced by 11-time Grammy winner Joe Chiccarelli (Elton John, U2, Beck, The Killers). Now he’s heading back into East West Studios to record his sophomore effort. In this inspiring music interview , Steve shares the emotional journey of redefining his identity beyond the Disney empire, the moment he cold-called Joe Chiccarelli (and actually got a callback), and what happened when one of music’s most legendary producers transformed his songs in ways he never imagined. From opening for Donovan Frankenreiter and Lyle Lovett while still at Disney, to learning the recording process from scratch, to writing “Send Them Love”—a song resonating with anyone who’s faced online negativity—Steve Bardwil and his story is about courage, reinvention, and refusing to live with “what if.” He also reveals his Beatles origin story (Dodger Stadium, 1966), the bittersweet reality of walking away from a career that defined him, and his advice for anyone contemplating their own leap: “At the end of your life, you can say ‘I tried’ or ‘I wish I would have.’ Don’t be the person who says ‘I wish I would have.’” Featured Topics: Career reinvention, music production with Joe Chiccarelli, working at Walt Disney Studios, songwriting process, recording at East West Studios, overcoming self-doubt, “Send Them Love,” Beatles at Dodger Stadium, following your passion later in life Keywords #legendary musician #legendary musican interview #knight #walk #weekly music history #kegendary musician #career breakthrough Support the show: https://takinawalk.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jerry Douglas - King of the Dobro- 16 Grammys, 3 CMAs, 3 AMAs, a Million Stories! 16-time Grammy Winner, three-time CMA Musician of the Year award recipient, Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship award winner, Artist in Residence for the Country Music Hall of Fame, Jerry Douglas, is such an underachiever! What is a dobro? Uninformed minds wanted to know. Jerry schooled us, but as your fun favorite professor would. Why a dobro? We got that education too. From his bluegrass-playing steelworker band on the side, father, Flatt and Scruggs obsessed little kid, to professional musician at 16, playing Avery Fischer Hall with headliner David Bromberg, to winning his first Grammy at 19, to playing with James Taylor, John Prine, Steve Goodman, Mumford & Sons, Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Alison Krauss, to Eric Clapton. We got the skinny on all of them, plus Jerry's chance meeting with Sir Paul, a seemingly scary Ry Cooder, recording in Abby Road, dinner with Clapton and Ron Wood, how he met his bride of 17 years, parenting 4, grandparenting 7, loving all of them, all of it, except the night of extreme excess that led to his sobriety. Bonus, he also played us out, as only dobro master, Jerry Douglas, could. I knew when Snuffy and I spent an evening in Nashville recently with Jerry and Jill that he'd be a great guest, as with his playing, he exceeded all expectations. Jerry Douglas Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson Wednesday, 1/14/26, 5 PM PT/ 8 PM ET

GRAMMY® Winner, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Inductee! Happy Holiday's, Merry Christmas!! Featured in the Academy Award Winning Documentary "20 Feet from Stardom", Darlene Has done a LOT!! #1 Hit Make, Actress on Stage & in Motion Picture Blockbusters like the "Lethal Weapon" Movies Rolling Stone Magazine has proclaimed Darlene Love to be “one of the greatest singers of all time” and that certainly rings true, but perhaps Paul Shaffer says it even more concisely: “Darlene Love is Rock N' Roll!” From her first number #1 Hit,"He's A Rebel", through her string of label hits with legendary producer Phil Spector, including "Da Doo Ron Ron", "He's Sure The Boy I Love & "Christmas Baby Please Come Home" a classic she sangs every Christmas season on the "Late Show with David Letterman (it is David's favorite). Darlene on Lead Vocals #1 Hit ~ "He's a Rebel" ~ The Crystals #10 Hit ~ "He's Sure the Boy I Love" ~ The Crystals Darlene solo ~ "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" In December 2010, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" first on its list of The Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Song, saying that "nobody can match Love's emotion and sheer vocal power." Several of the classic hit song's she sings backup on: Sam Cooke's ~ "Chain Gang", Bobby "Boris" Pickett ~ "The Monster Mash" "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" ~ The Righteous Brothers "Walking In The Rain" ~ The Ronettes The Beach Boys ~ "In My Room" "Poor Side of Town" ~ Johnny Rivers "Rock and Roll Lullaby" ~ B.J. Thomas "Let Us Pray" ~ Elvis Presley "Get It Right" ~ Luther Vandross And many other top 10 hits of the Rock n Roll Era. Her voice is on countless songs she sang backup on for artists like Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley, Dionne Warwick, Cher, Luther Vandross and Aretha Franklin. One of Darlene's biggest fans is "The "Boss" Bruce Springsteen. She has proven herself a talented actress as well, on stage and screen, starring as Danny Glover's wife in all of the LETHAL WEAPON films and lighting-up Broadway in such musicals as GREASE and the Tony-award nominated LEADER OF THE PACK. Darlene Love was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeoning girl group called The Blossoms, who began recording for Phil Specter. Soon thereafter, other artists like Sam Cooke were attracted to her powerful sound, and sought Darlene on their recordings. With The Blossoms and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, Darlene sang lead vocals on some of the greatest music hits of the 60's. The Blossoms landed a weekly spot on the landmark television series SHINDIG & Elvis's 1968 Comeback Special and through the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and back-up such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher. She has received great national press exposure, including a feature in PEOPLE magazine, a CNN television documentary on her life, and bookings on numerous national television programs, including NBC-TV's TODAY, Wendy Williams, CW and Oprah as her yearly stint on the David Letterman show which she has done 26 years strong. A feature film based on Darlene's autobiography “My Name Is Love” is in the works Along with more great new music collaborations & concerts thru 2026 © 2026 Building Abundant Success!!
