Burt Stein has over fifty-three years of experience in all facets of the music industry. Just out of college, he began his career in April of 1972 in Chicago, where he was tapped by industry veteran Jac Holzman to work with him at Elektra Records in promotion.

In 1975, Elektra Records merged with Asylum Records, and Stein was approached by David Geffen to move to the West Coast and create a rock and roll promotion division at the label’s Los Angeles headquarters.

While at Elektra/Asylum, Burt became Vice President of Promotion and helped launch the careers of and worked with music heavyweights including Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Jackson Browne, The Doors, Carly Simon, Queen, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, The Cars, Bread, Grover Washington Jr., Eddie Rabbitt, Motley Crue, Joni Mitchell, Warren Zevon, and others.

After 11 years on the label side, Stein launched artist management company Gold Mountain Entertainment in 1983 with partners Danny Goldberg and Ron Stone. He also spent time with manager Freddy DeMann at DeMann Entertainment, working with artists including Madonna, Lionel Richie, Divinyls, and The Smithereens. Burt later returned to Gold Mountain, launching a Nashville branch in 1994.

Over the years, Gold Mountain has managed a wide range of artists including Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Rickie Lee Jones, Beastie Boys, Bonnie Raitt, Belinda Carlisle, Steve Earle, Lorrie Morgan, Gin Blossoms, and many more.

Gold Mountain Entertainment Nashville currently manages Ronnie Milsap, The Band of Heathens, Daniel Rodriguez, Anna Moss, Handmade Moments, West Texas Exiles, Chicago Farmer, The High Hawks, and the estates of Nanci Griffith and The Crickets.

This episode goes beyond Burt’s remarkable career. At its core, it’s a deeply personal conversation about grief, faith, and resilience, as both Burt and Brad share the unimaginable experience of losing a son and what it means to keep moving forward.

🟥 GUEST: TYLER HUBBARD

In this powerful episode of The Good Grief Good God Show, Brad Warren sits down with multi-platinum artist and songwriter Tyler Hubbard for one of his most personal conversations to date.

As a founding member of Florida Georgia Line, Tyler helped shape modern country music with 19 No. 1 hits and record-breaking success. But behind the stadium tours and chart-topping singles is a story marked by deep loss, faith, and personal growth.

Tyler opens up about losing his father at a young age and how that loss shaped his identity, his drive, and his relationship with God. He shares what it was like stepping into a solo career after the end of Florida Georgia Line, becoming the first male country artist to launch from a successful duo and earn four consecutive No. 1 hits on his own.

This conversation goes beyond music. It’s about grief. It’s about pressure. It’s about stripping away what the world sees and discovering who you really are.

Brad and Tyler discuss:

If you’ve ever wrestled with loss, purpose, or redefining yourself in a new season, this episode will resonate deeply..

🟥 GUEST: JAKE ALLYN

🌐 Website (Jake Allyn IMDb): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5923409/ 

💠 About: In this episode of The Good Grief Good God Show, Brad Warren sits down with Jake Allyn, an actor, writer, and director whose work explores faith, identity, and the moral complexity of broken systems.  Jake shares the deeply personal story behind a film he has been developing, a project that centers on a law enforcement officer forced to confront the limits of the justice system when addiction hits his own family. Told from the perspective of a filmmaker rather than an advocate, the story wrestles with accountability, compassion, and the emotional toll carried by those sworn to uphold the law. The documentary is still in development, with no release date announced.

From his Texas roots and football career at Cornell to his work in television and film, including The Quad, No Man’s Land, and Ride, Jake reflects on how storytelling can open honest conversations about addiction, faith, responsibility, and redemption.  This is a raw and thoughtful conversation about the tension between duty and grace, the cost of silence, and why some stories refuse to let go until they’re told.

🟥 About this Episode: A Friendship Forged Through Cancer & the Loss of a Child

In this episode of The Good Grief Good God Show, special guest host Michelle Warren sits down with her close friend Gaye Knight for an honest conversation about friendship, faith, resilience, and showing up for one another through life’s hardest seasons.

Introduced through their mutual friend Faith Hill, Gaye and Michelle formed a bond that deepened over years of shared history, trust, and life experience. Gaye reflects on her life as the wife of a retired military veteran and the sacrifices that come with military service, before opening up about her cancer diagnosis and the strength she found through faith and community.

Michelle also shares from her own journey, including the loss of her son Sage, and how grief reshapes the way we love, listen, and support one another.

Marine Corps veteran and bestselling author C.G. Cooper sits down with Brad Warren for an honest, powerful conversation about recovery, sobriety, addiction, faith, grief, and the brotherhood that saved his life. Cooper opens up about growing up in a military family, serving as an infantry officer, navigating survivor’s guilt, and the moment he realized alcohol had taken over his life.

They also dive into practicality, mental health, finding a tribe of men who tell the truth, and why honesty is the foundation of real change.

This episode explores grief, including the devastating loss of Brad’s son Sage, and how faith carried Brad through a season that should have destroyed him.

Raw, hopeful, and life-giving, this conversation offers encouragement for anyone walking through addiction, mental health struggles, or the search for purpose.
