Welcome back to another episode of the DrumGAB podcast. Our guest this week is probably best known as the drummer for the Jason Aldean country artist but he is much more than just that. He is a motivational speaker, an author, actor and producer as well. In this episode we explore the concept of finding your “calling” and journeying that path until success is reached. This is an incredible discussion that will speak to two different categories of people. Those who know their calling and are working diligently to find career success or those who didn’t heed the calling and may have remorse about their decisions. Who is Rich Redmond Rich has been a drummer for 40 years and has been a working drummer in the Nashville scene for nearly 21 years. He and his friends Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy, AKA “The Kings” have been working together for nearly two decades as a professional rhythm section that fuelled one another with work in the Nashville scene and make up the Jason Aldean rhythm section. The idea behind “The Kings” is that power is in numbers when working as professional musicians. Besides being a drummer, Rich has recently created a second life in Hollywood to pursue acting. He views this as the next season of his life that he feels he is supposed to focus on for the next 20 years of his professional life. Rich is also a motivational speaker, using his CRASH course for success to bring good message to the public about how to develop the tools to be the person you want to be in life. I find this particular aspect of his career incredibly interesting and Rich shares some good wisdom with me and ultimately listeners of this show. Rich also ran a production company called New Voice Entertainment which he and the Kings helped produce demos for up and coming musical acts but has since dissolved about one year ago. All in all, Rich is a super eclectic artist who merges entertainment and education to help bring positive influence into peoples lives and is quite possibly the most diversified guest I have ever had on the show. Key Moments in this Episode - We briefly discuss how Rich is now diving into acting and how he feels this is the next step in evolving as an entertainer. - Is being a dreamer unhealthy? Rich goes into incredible detail about how dreams are what fuels our curiosities to attempt being someone other than simply average. Following our dreams will have its ups and downs but believing that you know the path is what is important. One day it may all work itself out. - I then ask a question that opposes Rich’s discussion about not quitting and following your path. I ask him how long must a person wait until they need to reassess their path and possibly create a plan B for themselves. Again, we have an unreal conversation about this. - After all of this it becomes apparent that we had discussed everything that encompasses his CRASH course for success philosophy - Commitments, Relationships, Attitude, Skill and Hunger - We then discuss how this message affects his clinic audience. - At this point of the interview we go full circle. I ask Rich how we know we are on the right path and how to find it. Rich then goes into detail about his thoughts on people who never heed the calling because of life’s circumstances and certain barriers that our journey in life can create that keep us from selfishly pursuing our own goals and dreams. To be selfish is not necessarily a bad thing as long as you allow to balance it out with selflessness. We can be better to people if we pursue our dreams and this includes our loved ones as well as society as a whole. - We close things out by talking about his now dissolved company, New Voice Entertainment. This includes discussion of The Kings and how they worked together as a team for years to help create the success they now have in their careers. Concluding Thoughts So….this podcast is one I will always enjoy listening back to. Yes I listen to my own show but it is because I pick it apart for things I wish I did better or new approaches to interviewing people. It would be like making drum videos and never watching them to see how you played and how you can improve. This is the first episode i have made where I feel I executed the interview to my likings. I am so proud of this one and it is something I would like to reflect on years down the road. Capturing a conversation like this one is something that gives me relief. It is relieving because I know I couldn’t have done it better with the equipment and knowledge I have at this stage of my journey as a podcast host. Rich and I managed to create something that I feel is quite worthwhile listening to and I hope it gets some people thinking about their own lives and how we can alter our course and pursue the things that bring us real joy in life. This is a motivational episode. Music by Rockett Queen Rich Redmond’s Social Media Instagram | Facebook | Website www.crashcourseforsuccess.com DrumGAB Social Media Instagram | Facebook | Website
