On this episode of The American Grit Podcast, USMC Veteran Tim Jensen sits down with country music powerhouse John Rich, half of the multi-platinum duo Big & Rich. From humble beginnings at Opryland to penning and producing over 40 Top 40 singles (including 14 #1 hits), John’s story is one of grit, hustle, and undeniable talent.
But John Rich isn’t just a chart-topping artist, he’s a patriot, a builder of legends, and a relentless supporter of America’s heroes. He’s helped launch careers like Gretchen Wilson’s, written for icons like Faith Hill and Jason Aldean, and raised millions for St. Jude’s as the Celebrity Apprentice winner. Now, through his lifestyle brand Redneck Riviera, he continues to give back, supporting Folds of Honor and the VFW. This is a deep dive into music, patriotism, and the power of staying true to who you are.
