On this episode of Stay Ready The Podcast, Matt has decided to do a collab podcast with Bring The Juice. Bring The Juice is a sports based podcast making tons of noise in the podcast scene so it was only fitting to collaborate and talk all things football with the guys. Matt and Frank (host of Bring The Juice) talk in detail about Matt's journey to being a 10 year NFL veteran, the long snapping position, how important faith has been for Matt throughout his career and much more. Matt tells a couple of stories detailing his path from JUCO, to semi pro leagues, to the arena league before earning his spot in the NFL. He also sheds insight on what it was like being a Pro Bowler and playing with Adam Vinatieri and Pat McAfee in Indianapolis. The guys also touch base on Matt's own podcast, Stay Ready. 

On this episode of Stay Ready the Podcast, Matt sits down with singer, songwriter Jasper Charles. After meeting at their weekly Bible study on Music Row recently, Matt wanted to invite Jasper on to share his story. Unlike most musicians who come to Nashville hoping to live out the dream of releasing music and being on stage, Jasper has taken a different path. From having a full-time job secured that some say keeps him from following the unofficial path to stardom, to having severe vocal issues that has kept him from consistently performing and releasing music Jasper tells his story in his own words. Listen in as he details how he got into music at a young age, decided to step away from sports, moved from Birmingham, AL to Nashville to pursue a career in music,  went to college to further his musical experience which eventually landed a full-time job with Red Bull, how the vocal issues have affected his path as a country artist and keeping the faith in Christ through it all. 

On this episode of Stay Ready The Podcast, Matt sits down with country musician Elvie Shane. They discuss how Elvie loved music pretty much as soon as he was born and it's always been a part of his life. Growing up he started singing in church until high school when girls became a main priority. As he entered college he along with a couple of buddies formed a group called 88 and would play local bars. As they continue the conversation, Elvie discusses writing the hit "My Boy" which he co-wrote and ended up going #1. He also discusses how he took a break from music, being a preacher at 18, trying to convince himself he's either atheist or agnostic, getting his publishing and record deals, what he's got going on and what is to come for him. Listen in as Matt and Elvie touch on several different topics in each of their careers and how it's molded them into who they are today! 

On this episode of Stay Ready The Podcast Matt sits down with another country music artist.

As they get into the conversation, Matt lets the fans know why he loves having musical guests on the show which is he's had to face similar challenges to get to where he is.
