Bear Rinehart of NEEDTOBREATHE sits down with me for an honest, unguarded conversation. No talking points. Just heart.

We get into:

• Writing alone vs. co-writing — why Bear prefers honesty over formula
• Finding humanity in music when everything sounds “too perfect”
• How therapy, faith, and trauma shaped Bear’s songwriting
• The story behind “Mama Loves Me” and what makes vulnerability timeless
• Touring, sobriety, and balancing music with fatherhood
• Working with producer Dave Cobb on NEEDTOBREATHE’s new record
• Why Red Clay Strays represent the return of realness in music
• What it means to surrender control and find peace through weakness
• The importance of mentors, growth, and longevity in a 20-year career
• Bear’s advice to young artists navigating today’s music industry

We also talk Red Clay Strays, Carrie Underwood, John Mayer, why imperfect recordings can hit harder, and the story behind “Mama Loves Me.” Bear shares how morning writes changed his process, how demos shaped the band, and why the goal isn’t to “top the old stuff”—it’s to tell the truth now.

If this episode encouraged you, share it. Text it to a friend. Post a clip. It helps a ton.
