I stay the night and one night weekend, two or three years. The kids are not all right, but that's okay because no one here is.
Hello, it is time for another podcast episode, so let's teen the beat around. Nope, I'm embarrassed I even tried that one. Okay, back to the drawing board. It's Danielle Fishel, and this is Teen Beat, a podcast where I interview interesting people about their teenage years, a time where they were possibly a little less interesting. I'm looking to connect with these celebrities and get the awkward truth, the embarrassing underbelly of life before the fame, when pimples and getting your driver's license were your biggest concerns. And yes, face all these challenges while beamed to millions of households as the female lead on a beloved family sitcom. That was my life. So I see it like this. I gave you my childhood.
It's time we hear yours. And my guest this week turned his Denver, Colorado church upbringing, playing in bands with classmates, into a multi-platinum Grammy-nominated career with songs that can bring you right back to an exact moment in your life with just a few opening notes. His band's debut album, 2005's How to Save a Life, went quadruple platinum and was part of a movement that bridged the gap for spiritually Christian rock music to enter the mainstream, a feat once considered totally impossible. Their biggest hit, the title track off the album How to Save a Life, became an all-out aughts banger when it was first featured on both an episode of Grey's Anatomy, then as the music for its upcoming season premiere promo, a massive musical achievement back when TV meant something.
