Don't Be A Square - "For Goodness' Sake" With Chad Barela - Ep 06

In this episode Chad shares one of his most prized possessions, his Vintage Gibson LG-1 acoustic guitar and plays an old John Prine tune to open up the show. After sharing a story about how he mindlessly sang a possibly inappropriate song with his pastor, Chad explores artistic boundaries, how to create without losing your sense of footing in reality, the balance of being open minded yet anchored in truth, and how he turned his creativity into businesses.
