Rod Picott is a songwriter, a singer, a poet, and the author of numerous works of fiction. After spending some time with him, I would say he’s also a searcher, someone who is not afraid to look in the shadows, those of his own or others, to learn more about himself and the world he inhabits.

Today, Rod and I talk about Springsteen, what makes someone extraordinary, what his creative process looks like, and the power of seeing the painting of the Girl With The Pearl Earring.
