For today’s episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host and former drummer of “Maroon 5” Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard for a discussion with Brent Smith, lead singer of the iconic Rock Band “Shinedown”. Active in the music scene for well over 2 decades, Shinedown is known for global smash hits like “Second Chance” and “A Symptom of Being Human” among many others.

Similarly to Ryan, Brent has made mental health a focal point of his life and music. Having dealt with his own issues within the world of addiction, Brent has come out on the other side more focused than ever on shifting the discussion of Mental Health not just to awareness, but beyond it into solutions and finding help.

Through the very conversational style of the discussion, the trio touch on a wide spectrum of topics, including creating powerful music that maintains its vulnerability, leading a team of people with grace and kindness, and avoiding spending too much time on what others think.

It’s another can’t miss episode of “Harder to Breathe”, not just for music fans, but for anyone who has dealt with finding identity, battling addiction, and giving the universe permission to lead you to the next open door.
