You may know Eric Church as a country music icon and Chase Elliott as a NASCAR champion, but what happens when two high performers sit down to talk, not about the spotlight, but about what keeps them steady behind the scenes?Because rising to the top is one thing. Staying there? That takes a different kind of strength: the habits, the anchors, the quiet choices no one sees.In this episode, I revisit one of my favorite conversations, which was originally recorded during my Lunch with Lindsay podcast series in partnership with FamilyMade. I joined Chase Elliott and Eric Church at Eric’s writer’s cabin for a special conversation.Eric and Chase may seem like an unlikely pair, but sit with them long enough, and you’ll see the parallels run deep. Both have built careers in high-pressure arenas. Both have learned to tune out the noise. And both know the challenge of staying grounded when the stakes are sky high.Chase and Eric open up about the moments that changed them, the pressures of being seen, and the quieter choices that shaped their careers. From Chase’s early days trying to outrun expectations to Eric’s defiant decision to tour solo after getting kicked off the Rascal Flatts stage, this episode is a deep dive into identity, legacy, and the kind of grit that can’t be taught.What You’ll Hear:Eric’s surprising creative outlet: chainsaw therapy (03:28)Why Chase prioritizes fun off the track (06:45)Eric’s career-defining decision to go solo (14:09)Chase on separating passion from pressure (18:44)Why Eric stopped chasing charts, and found peace (20:23)The power of real connection in high-profile lives (31:49)The way both industries are changing over time (50:26)If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to stay steady in the spotlight, this one’s for you.
