The Heart & Hustle Podcast

Today we have a TREAT for you. We had the honor of chatting with our good friend Thunderstorm Artis. Thunderstorm has been featured in festivals throughout North America, and he's played with artists like Jack Johnson, Booker T, and Mike Love. He most recently placed as a finalist in 3rd place on Season 18 of NBC's The Voice with his coach Nick Jonas. His music crosses so many genres including folk, rock, soul, and country. No matter what Thunderstorm sings or writes he does it from his heart. He believes that through his music he can make our world a better place by lifting the hearts of others. Today we got to talk to him ALL about his journey as a musician and how growing up in a family of 11 kids both grew him and affected his style and sound as a musician. We then got to chat with Thunder about ALL the behind the scenes juice from what it's like being on one of the most popular competition shows ever, The Voice. He tells us the very inspiring story of the chance encounter that ended up getting him on the show, he talks about what the blind auditions are like, what he learned from working with both John Legend and Nick Jonas as his coaches, and SOOO much more. Thunder is honestly one of the most humble, kind, talented, and spirit filled people we've had on the show, and he drops SO many nuggets of wisdom, whether you're trying to break into the music industry or go after a dream that's been on your heart. You NEED what this man has to say.

If you've followed this show or us on Instagram for any amount of time, you've probably noticed that we don't shy away from sharing our faith. We're both Christians and believe in Jesus and the Bible. While this podcast and The Heart University isn't strictly a Christian podcast or company, we definitely don't hide the fact that we believe in God. After receiving enough requests to do an episode on our faith, why we share it, and HOW we go about sharing it in our businesses, we decided to do just that. If you're a fellow believer, we hope this episode will inspire and challenge you as well as give you some tangible takeaways on HOW to share your faith without shoving it down people's throats. If you don't share the same faith as Evie and I, please don't let that deter you from tuning in to today's show. You ARE welcome here. We love you. We would love for you to listen even just out of curiosity for why we believe what we believe and share in the way that we do.

He's the host of the podcast Sounds Good, the creator of the Goodnewspaper, a printed newspaper full of good news, and the founder of an online community with more than 250,000 world changers with his company Good Good Good. We chatted with Branden about how to make a real difference in the world when such horrible, tragic, and heartbreaking things happen all around us. We talked about the overwhelm that can come with seeing bad news every day and feeling helpless when it comes to knowing how to actually do something that makes a difference. He gives practical actionable steps YOU can do right now to be an influence for GOOD, in your life and business, no matter how many followers you have. This episode will inspire you and 100% bring a smile to your face. We need MORE people in the world with hearts like Branden's and in today's episode he'll tell YOU where and how you can start. We interviewed Branden before the coronavirus really hit and affected everything really hard, which is why we don't talk about it in this conversation. However, our chat with Branden and what he is doing with his company, Good Good Good, could not have come at a better time. Since the interview with Branden, Good Good Good has risen up, done what they do best, and has been leading the charge in putting out good news in the midst of this global pandemic. It has been so incredible to see how Branden and Good Good Good have continued to spread hope, light, and positivity in a world filled with chaos and fear right now. Since recording his interview, Good Good Good has been featured in the New York Times and Miley Cyrus herself had Branden on her Instagram show, Bright Minded. We are so honored to have had him on the show spreading hope and positivity to you. We hope this episode fills you with peace about our world and the good that is truly all around you if you look for it.
