ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week on Deep Ish, Jake sits down with singer-songwriter and former professional baseball player Bryan Ruby for a conversation about baseball, music, Nashville, taking risks, and knowing when it's time to turn the page.Bryan spent nearly two decades playing baseball, eventually playing professionally and continuing to pursue the game long after college. But while baseball was still his career, another dream was quietly taking shape. He moved to Nashville in 2019, started immersing himself in songwriting, carried his guitar with him on baseball trips, and eventually made the decision to leave baseball and pursue music full-time.We talk about what it was like to walk away from something he'd spent most of his life doing, why he chose to leave on his own terms, the years of grinding before anyone was paying attention, and why building something sustainable matters more than going viral overnight.Bryan also tells some incredible Nashville stories—including sneaking into a CMA party at 23, meeting songwriters, and eventually hearing a Chris Stapleton demo that completely changed the way he looked at the music business.Sometimes it's deep, sometimes it's just ish.Presented by GrnHaus MediaFollow Bryan: https://www.bryanrubymusic.com/https://www.instagram.com/bryanrubyofficialhttps://www.facebook.com/bryanrubyofficialhttps://tiktok.com/@bryanrubyofficial Follow Deep Ish:https://www.instagram.com/deep.ishpodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@deep.ishpodcasthttps://www.facebook.com/deep.ishpodcastFollow Jake:https://www.instagram.com/jdotlawhttps://www.tiktok.com/@jdotlawhttps://x.com/jdotlawhttps://www.facebook.com/jdotlaw
