In episode 247 of Outside the Round, host Matt Burrill sits down with the legendary Colt Ford for a raw, reflective, and inspiring conversation. Colt opens up about surviving a life-threatening health scare, his journey back to the stage, and how it’s deepened his appreciation for music and life. From the early days of blending country and hip-hop to collaborating with artists like Brantley Gilbert, Colt shares stories of hustle, heartbreak, and hard-earned success. They dive into the power of staying authentic, building a loyal fanbase without chasing trends, and the pride Colt feels seeing artists he helped mentor thrive today. With new music in the works, renewed purpose, and a lifetime of stories, Colt proves he’s not just back—he’s better than ever.
