Chad sits down with John Rich, this month’s DemerBox Artist of the Month, for a deep conversation about the music business, creative freedom, and the fine line between success and significance. John talks about the birth of the Music Mafia, the rise of Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and how Nashville’s sound and politics have shifted over the years. He talks about staying authentic, honoring the flag, and writing songs that mean something, even when they ruffle feathers.
We love how John Rich is unapologetically himself. He's outspoken, sharp, funny, and fearless.
If you believe real country music still needs a backbone, this one’s for you.

509 - More Than Athletics: An Inspiring Conversation with Yo Legroan of Redirect Athletics
In this episode, Chad sits down with Yo Legroan from ReDirect Athletics in Reno, Nevada. Yo is a man whose mission goes way beyond sports. He isn’t just training athletes; he’s raising leaders. His passion is contagious, his mindset is relentless, and his belief is simple: everybody needs something, and everybody needs love.
The conversation gets real. From boxing as a metaphor for life, getting knocked down, getting back up, and training harder, to race, resilience, and the role of strong men guiding the next generation. Chad and Yo don’t shy away from the tough stuff. They dig into derogatory terms, cultural divides, and the mentors from different backgrounds who shaped them into who they are today.
This one is seriously raw, honest, and it’s the kind of talk that sticks with you. If you care about grit, accountability, and the future of our kids, this is one you can’t miss.
