Today's guest is a familiar face... A friend to the podcast and one of the most successful and influential creators in music history.

He isn’t just a hitmaker. He's perhaps one of the few people in the history of music to have hits as a songwriter, artist, and producer... completely aside from one another across genres.

And The Writer Is... Ryan Tedder!

In this episode, he breaks down:

🎯 Why the middle class of music is disappearing

🎯 How splits, streaming, and AI are reshaping the game

🎯 The mindset you need to survive as an artist today

🎯 What real creative value looks like in 2025 and beyond

This one isn’t just inspiring — It’s essential listening for anyone who wants to last in music..
