In this episode, Jake sits down with country R&B artist Mike Parker. He opens up about leaving a small town in Virginia, taking a leap to LA, and realizing that success without purpose doesn’t hit the way you think it will.

We talk about the reality of chasing music in LA, why “having everything” can still leave you unfulfilled, how American Idol changed everything, how he found his sound—and himself—in Nashville, and faith, failure, and figuring it out as you go

This is one of those conversations about trusting your gut, embracing the uncomfortable, and learning that sometimes the path forward starts with starting over.
