Matt Martindale, lead singer of Cooder Graw, sat down with me at the Larry Joe Taylor Music Festival. We talked about the band's "reunion tour," its new album and finally being true to themselves. Matt Martindale also threw gas on my fire when said he was going to do THIS...

Sitting on his tour bus at the annual Larry Joe Taylor Music, I challenged Kyle Park to the "Yes Experiment" (48 hours of saying yes to EVERYTHING). This was the response from the Texas Country Music superstar.

Jeannie Russell is an all-star with incredible perspective. She writes a blog called “Living the List” and it focuses on her being the best version of herself while pushing herself outside her comfort zone and living on purpose. She has a zeal for life, despite the horrible tragedy that impacted her family 3 years ago.

A single mom, who is also fostering small children who have been dealt a bad hand, realized the importance of focusing on herself. She recognized the fact that she couldn't fill the "love tank" of her kids if she wasn't taking care of herself. So...she stopped for half and second and figured out what she wanted out of life. She decided to live on purpose.

He's a world traveler...he's a philosopher...now he has the designation of being the smartest AND most interesting guest in the history of the Defining Audacity Radio Show. A FANTASTIC hour-long interview with Texas folk singer/songwriter, Keegan Mcinroe.

Laura Beck's story involves tremendous heartache. She lost her husband of 35 years to a terminal illness. But this Live the List advocate is now living on purpose. She continues to honor her husband by living life to the fullest. Her first - and maybe biggest - life list item: Scuba diving. (Something that she had plans of doing with her husband after he beat his illness.)

Texas Country Music icon Cory Morrow gets very real and very personal, talking about his new walk with faith. It is an inspiring message of courage, perspective, faith and redemption. Already a Cory Morrow fan? You'll be an even bigger one after this interview.

Anna Lazor lost her husband Jason 14 months ago, when she was 6 months pregnant with their daughter, Avery. You will not believe the amazing courage, strength and perspective this woman has on life. She talks a lot about not making excuses and finding happiness. A very inspiring interview with this advocate for the Live the List non-profit.

Texas Country Music artist Phil Hamilton has taken a step back and found himself in a good place. His new record "Brazos Wind" is a testament to that. Now it's time for this country rocker to start living on purpose. After a brief discussion about his goals, dreams and aspirations, he vowed to make a life list and post it for the world to see.

Our first non-profit spotlight....Getting involved in some capacity is always on people's life lists, and I want to start putting these organizations in the limelight and share all the wonderfully great things that they’re doing. I also wanted to give them the platform to share ways that you can get involved if you want. This week, I got a chance to visit with the Habitat for Humanity Chapter out of Fort Worth.
