Wake Up And Try Again

In this episode of Wake Up and Try Again, we sit down with Youngbiggs for a real conversation about music, fatherhood, life, and everything he’s had to overcome along the way.

Behind every artist is a story that goes deeper than the music. We talk about the struggles, the lessons, the mistakes, and the moments that shaped the man he is today. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is reflecting on his younger self and what it would mean to say “I’m sorry” to the person he used to be for everything he put himself through.

Sometimes, growing up means looking back at the person you were, forgiving yourself for the battles you fought, and learning to give yourself the same grace you give others.

This episode is about more than music. It’s about fatherhood, growth, accountability, healing, and understanding that no matter what you’ve been through, your story isn’t over.

💯 Because sometimes the person you need to make peace with the most is the person you used to be.

🎧 Tune in, listen to the story, and remember: it’s never too late to grow, heal, and try again.
