About this episode

Chris Hardwick interviews Rick Beato about his music career and insights on creativity in the social media era.

Chris sat down with Rick Beato at his famous Atlanta studio in June of 2025 to talk about Rick's history with music, publishing your own music in the social media era, starting a new chapter at any age, and maaaaybe a little Walking Dead fandom. Rick is such a terrific guy and is pretty much the same in real life as he is on his channel. This is a great watch/listen for Rick fans, creative folks looking to establish themselves, or even just for someone who decides it's time to finally pick up an instrument and start learning.
