Jenn Marino has interviewed some of the biggest names in rock. This time, she’s stuck with me, and apparently my shirt is a problem.

Jenn joins The Ty Sherrell Show to share what made Ozzy Osbourne an unforgettable interview and the surprisingly un-rock-star thing she caught Nikki Sixx doing on tour. Spoiler: it involves a golden retriever and a fork.

Between the insults, we get into the real stuff: starting a career by volunteering to clean a radio station, showing up when your personal life is falling apart, and the moment heartbreak made Jenn turn off the microphone.

We also debate whether a great band can make it without making TikToks, and Jenn turns the questions on me about fatherhood, separating work from home, and why creativity is what brings me back after a rough day. Neither of us is particularly good at staying on topic. Neither of us seems interested in fixing that.

Explicit language. Frequent interruptions. My shirt fits fine.

Working with Troy Aikman. Calling out Instagram business gurus. Buying enough beer cans to last for years. We cover some ground in this one.

I sit down with Ruchi Desai, co-founder of EIGHT Elite Light Lager, to talk about building a brand and everything that comes with it. From her career in trading and law to launching a beer company, Ruchi shares the decisions, mistakes and lessons behind the business.

We get into:

• What working with Troy Aikman taught her about preparation and standards. • Why EIGHT changed its packaging after watching how people actually shop. • Why “my product is for everyone” can hurt your marketing. • How she’d spend a $5,000 marketing budget. • The expensive mistake of buying way too many cans. • Why saving clients time is my first priority at FX Web Media.

We also talk about family, becoming a mom, and the difference between looking successful online and doing the daily work of running a company.

If you own a business, want to start one, or just want to hear what went into building EIGHT, this episode is for you.

Before building Pizza Girl, Caroline D’Amore was immersed in the Hollywood scene, DJing around the world, acting, launching fashion brands and forming friendships with celebrities like Paris Hilton.

But behind the parties, famous friends and red carpets was an entrepreneur trying to figure out who she really was and what she was meant to build.

Caroline joins The Ty Sherrell Show to share why she spent years running from the “Pizza Girl” identity, how Gordon Ramsay helped introduce her brand to a massive audience and why her successful organic pasta sauce still became an unsustainable business.

She also opens up about losing her family homes in the Los Angeles fires, feeding thousands of firefighters and first responders and how that tragedy revealed a completely new opportunity for Pizza Girl.

We talk celebrity culture, family conflict, difficult relationships with our fathers, brutal food-industry margins, failed business models, knowing when to pivot and why the thing you are trying to escape may be the exact thing you were meant to become.

This is Caroline D’Amore beyond the Hollywood headlines: honest, driven, relentless and building Pizza Girl into something much bigger than a sauce company.

Episode 4 of a podcast that cannot be stopped because nobody is trying to stop it.

Today's guest is Lindsay from CPAP Baddies. She is a respiratory therapist. She tested a sleep device for work and the device diagnosed her. That is a true story that happened to a professional.

Together, Ty and Lindsay cover the important issues: whose CPAP is louder, why his mask has spent three consecutive nights on the floor without his knowledge or consent, and a father-in-law who stopped breathing four times on a couch and described himself as fine. Lindsay explains untreated sleep apnea using a deer analogy. Ty offers cows instead. They do not reach an agreement.

There is also a segment about goat hunting that no one asked for, a brief geography lesson about the state Lindsay currently lives in, and several pacemaker jokes that were supposed to be edited out. They were not.

If you snore, this episode is about you. Go ahead and get mad about it.

Ty Sherrell sits down with John Guarnieri — former Secret Service agent, Security Director for Shinedown, and co-host of Boos, Brews, and BBQ. John opens up about joining the Secret Service at 22, the training most people never hear about, and how reading a room became second nature. Then it goes deeper: what quietly earns his trust, when loyalty becomes enabling, an unexplained scratch during a paranormal investigation, where Boos, Brews, and BBQ is headed, and the loss of his dad — the man he spent 20 years working to make proud. Grab a drink and settle in. This one gets real.

Barry Kerch has spent decades behind the drums for Shinedown, playing massive stages, making records, and helping build one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

But this is not just a Shinedown interview.

Barry sits down with Ty Sherrell for a real conversation about what success demands behind the scenes: being away from family, missing milestones, handling the weight fans bring to you, leadership, mental health, friendship, faith, and figuring out how to stay grounded when life gets loud fast.

They talk about Barry’s early years as a drummer, learning to stop playing by the book and start making art, the pressure of touring, why he still gets nervous before every show, the unglamorous reality of life on the road, and what it means when a song helps someone survive something hard.

Barry also opens up about fatherhood, marriage, rebuilding his faith, exploring the Catholic Church, paranormal experiences, Boos, Brews & BBQ, and why he wants to be remembered for giving people joy and escape through music.

This is a conversation about Shinedown, sure. But it is also about becoming a better man while carrying a life most people only see from the crowd.

Follow The Ty Sherrell Show for conversations about business, creativity, faith, leadership, life, music, BBQ, and the people with stories worth hearing.

Ed Merkel, founder of Elmwood Homes, joins the first episode of The Ty Sherrell Show for a raw conversation about building a company from scratch.

We talk leadership, culture, hiring, faith, loss, trust, and the pressure of putting your name behind every decision.

This one is about more than homebuilding.

It’s about what it really takes to build something that lasts.
