Feeling stuck in the noise?
Award-winning Nashville songwriter Kent Maxson—co-writer with Garth Brooks—joins host Stacey Chillemi to unpack his memoir No Way Out But Through: A Songwriter’s Slow Blind Journey from Chaos to Clarity.
Kent reveals how he survived a brutal season (health crisis, divorce, job loss, relocation) and found God’s “still small voice” that sparked his song “Crickets” and a new way forward.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to turn pain into powerful lyrics and purposeful living
The real creative process behind Nashville co-writes (and what legends teach)
Why patience, honesty, and reverence for the song matter more than hype
Faith practices that anchored Kent through uncertainty
The mindset shift behind “I Want to Die with Memories, Not Dreams”
Hit play to turn chaos into clarity—and silence into song.
