#8: Craig Campbell, Cornhole Trash Talk & Country Music Reality

Craig Campbell joins Chuck and Sami for an episode that somehow covers CMA Fest, country radio politics, coffee shops, cornhole strategy, and one very grumpy songwriter. Craig shares the story behind his growing Grindstone Cowboy coffee and restaurant business, opens up about the realities of chasing radio success as an independent artist, and reflects on why “Outskirts of Heaven” has become one of the most meaningful songs of his career. Along the way, Chuck and Sami take a nostalgic detour through early-2000s fashion, boy bands, and the highs and lows of life in country music. Plus, the trash talk starts early as Craig and Chuck make their predictions for the upcoming Craig Campbell Celebrity Cornhole Challenge benefitting the Kenny Campbell Foundation.
