From the ring to the writer’s room, Bobby Steveson (aka WWE’s Damon Kemp) joins host Matt Burrill for a powerful conversation on chasing a second dream. The Minnesota native opens up about how music was always in the background, even while rising through the ranks of pro wrestling. Now based in Nashville, Bobby shares what it’s like stepping into the country music world with a debut EP on the way. They dive into the art of co-writing, lessons learned from mentors in both wrestling and music, and the emotional depth behind Bobby’s songwriting. He reflects on how wrestling shaped his performance instincts, how his Midwest upbringing keeps him grounded, and why vulnerability is at the core of everything he’s building now. Whether you’re a fan of suplexes or storytelling, this is one of those episodes that hits hard.
