Artist Stephen Day joins us on the podcast to talk performing at YEP Rewinds, connecting with other industry professionals through the organization, and how his manager has influenced his work ethic and artist growth.   On his third project Stephen Day is joining the arena of bedroom pop. With his new EP Original Songs and Sound, slated for November 20, Day shows the listener a new side of his sensibilities. The five new songs he made alone in the confines of his Nashville bedroom are made in a way that lend to his crooner vocal fans have come to love. With tastes of Frank Ocean, John Mayer, and classic influence Day says, "It feels like these songs stand out from my other projects in a way that feels a little more edgy and direct." The 24 year old Georgia native released his first EP Undergrad Romance and the Moses in Me back in 2016 with a viral start. His track "If You Were the Rain" gained mass appeal among his first fans pushing him to chart on Spotify's Global viral playlist peaking at number two. Then in October of 2019 he released his first full length album Guess I'm Grown Now with lead singles like "Dancing in the Street," "For Life (Take You Out, Treat You Right)" and "Twenty Two and Some Change." He's been seen online on the homepage of Parade Magazine, and other outlets like Celeb Mix, and Stage Right Secrets. Now claiming Nashville, TN his hometown Day has taken it by storm. In 2019 he played Lightning 100's Live on the Green along with selling out famed Mercy Lounge. Fans across the US and the world have also developed a strong affinity for the singer. His catalog has now seen close to 29 Million streams. Prior to COVID he was set to sell out his first headline tour after playing the Wanderland Festival in Manila, Philippines. Now with the world in a continuous frame of uncertainty, one thing you can depend on is Stephen Day's ability to move forward one song at a time.  ---   This episode is sponsored by  · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/app  Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yeppodcast/support

Emily Hackett

Emily Hackett is the rare songwriter who doesn’t just pour her heart into her lyrics—she inspires every listener to reach a deeper honesty in their own lives. With her stunningly detailed storytelling, the Nashville-based artist sheds light on the liabilities of being human, transforming the most painful feelings into something glorious. It’s exactly that alchemy that found Hackett named one of CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2019. That announcement followed the release of By the Sun: a five-track EP that marked the first half of Hackett’s debut album, hailed by Rolling Stone as a “smart meeting-point between early-Aughts pop, country’s current genre playfulness and the one-name women of the Nineties.” Her followup EP, By The Moon, centers on more emotionally thorny material, revealing the full scope of Hackett’s artistry. Each song spotlights radiant vocal presence and vibrant musicality that Hackett’s honed her entire life. Growing up outside Atlanta, she realized her passion for music as a little girl—thanks largely to her father, a former rock critic. Hackett found breakout success with “Take My Hand (The Wedding Song)”: a ballad she wrote, recorded with Parachute front-man, then saw shoot to #4 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart directly upon release. As Hackett’s songwriting expands, so does her sound, as made apparent in her 2020 single releases, “Hangovers and Heartbreak” and “My Version of a Love Song,” leading up to an awaited new EP release of the same title later this year. The lyrics, remain as forthright as ever, and in turn, the music lending itself closer to her acoustic-rock upbringing. Hackett continues to make it clear that she will not be confined to a genre. She intends on reaching the heart strings of whoever’s headphones she can sneak into.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast.  https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yeppodcast/support

I've Had Better

 Welcome!  My guest today is Dr. John Gottman, one of the world's leading experts on how to have an amazing relationship.  He and his wife Julie currently operate The Gottman Institute in Seattle, offering numerous resources and training.  Join us for a deep dive into their work!  Dr. Gottman’s findings are largely based on the conclusions he has made over many years of research and observations of couples. He and his team have how to be a master (and avoid being a disaster) at relationship.  Dr. Gottman discusses the following topics:   “The Sound Relationship House” - what is the foundation for a relationship that lasts?  Learn the importance of having high expectations in relationship, and also uncover ways in which what you'd *think* would be good for your relationship is actually counterproductive.  Dr. Gottman identifies Styles of Confronting Conflict:  Volatile, Validating, and Conflict-Avoiding. All of these conflict styles can lead to successful relationships. Learn what to do if you and your partner are mismatched in your conflict style.  Dr. Gottman discusses “bids” we make with our partner as an attempt to connect. Are you a "yes" to your partner's bids? Are they a yes to yours?  “Bids” that fail are often the beginnings of conflict. How do things change if you start paying attention and responding to your partner's bids in a positive way?  Mindfulness is the key to noticing these bids and avoiding conflict.  “Small Things Often” - a reminder to turn toward these bids in the small moments of life.  Dr. Gottman's concept of startup is a way of thinking about what you bring to your interactions with your partner. Do you start in a place that's already positive, and thinking highly of your partner? Or do you start in a place where you are suspecting the worst of your partner?  Build up your emotional bank account with small compliments (deposits).  According to John, there are three phases of any relationship:  Falling in Love (initial), Building Trust (middle), and Cherishing Your Partner (long-term intimacy). What phase are you in? The key to success is using strategies that are appropriate for where you are in your relationship.  The key to more sex is having the freedom to say "no" without being punished for it. If refusing sex can actually have a positive payoff, then it will actually lead to a couple having a more satisfying (and frequent) sex life.  Do you ever wonder how to make a good relationship GREAT? Focus on cherishing your partner.  What if YOU are the only partner who wants to make changes?  Can you make a difference?  Absolutely. Learn how shifts in your approach can have a profound affect on your relationship.  The key to success in a relationship isn't that nothing bad ever happens. It's how well you as a couple learn how to repair after those things occur. John discusses how you can learn to repair, and the positive effects that has on long-term relationships.  Do you know how to decide if you’re in a bad relationship?  When you're with your partner, are you at your best? Or are you veering off towards your worst? Gottman offers this simple guideline for how to know whether to stay or go. Also what to think about BEFORE you decide that you're on the wrong path.
