He also gives the deets of what it’s like to be a part of the Nateland Podcast w Nate Bargatze. He shares what it takes to bomb, to rise, and to know when a bit’s ready.

Caroline Hobby has lived a life in the spotlight, from competing on The Amazing Race to hosting from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, and she’s learned that real connection happens off-script. On Get Real with Caroline Hobby, she leans into that truth, creating a space where guarded conversations give way to genuine, life-giving dialogue. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair for a deep talk with a trusted friend, one who isn’t afraid to ask the questions that matter. Produced by the Nashville Podcast Network, this series sits at the intersection of society, culture, and music, drawing from Caroline’s unique world to find universal stories. You’ll hear from a diverse range of voices-artists, entrepreneurs, thinkers, and everyday people-all sharing their journeys through fear, passion, and the pursuit of something more. The magic of this podcast lies in its ability to make the profound feel accessible, transforming abstract ideas about purpose into tangible, relatable conversations. It’s for anyone who has ever felt a quiet yearning for a different path or wondered how to unlock a bolder version of themselves. Forget polished soundbites; here, you get the unvarnished, heartfelt, and often surprising stories that emerge when people decide to be authentically themselves. Tune in for a weekly dose of clarity and courage, served with a distinctly human touch.
