Episode 282: Max McNown

Songwriter, storyteller, and stellar vocalist Max McNown is here this week to share with me his compelling, poignant and triumphant personal story. What inspires Max and his legion of fans is his honest and grounded attitude, rooted in the personal health struggle of his brother, Brock, who had battled cancer for several years — a winning battle — and now joins Max on tour full-time.  Max shares with me his story of having only picked up a guitar just a few years ago, when he found himself busking on the San Clemente, CA pier, telling his stories and inspiring listeners. Fast forward another year, and he’s gaining tens of millions of streams, is #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart, and is selling out his first headlining tour in just a few hours.   Max talks to me about how he realized the time was right for him to leave home — and his brother — to pursue his dreams,. And we talk about how Brock in turn, was given strength and inspiration by Max’s determination and ultimately, his success. It’s a truly heartwarming story of personal triumph for both brothers.
