Today, I’m joined by Matthew Odmark—a guitarist, songwriter, producer, and creative mentor based in Nashville.

Matt is a member of the Grammy-winning band Jars of Clay, who’ve released twelve albums over a career spanning more than two decades.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

  • What Matt enjoys about producing music today
  • His relationship with Jars of Clay now
  • The trade-offs that come with success
  • How his songwriting evolved over 20 years
  • What makes a song emotionally powerful
  • How faith shaped—and was shaped by—his work
  • His advice for creating work that lasts

📽️ Plus: We’ve included a video session filmed in Matt’s Nashville studio back in 2022—a joyful day of music and collaboration with friends.
