Conner Smith: What It Means To Keep a Soft Heart After Hard Things
What does it actually look like to rebuild from the insideout — before the world even knows you needed to?What happens to a person when tragedy arrives not as a slowunraveling, but all at once — and the only thing left standing is who you actually are? What does it look like to grieve something you can't talkabout, for a family you can't reach, while the world keeps watching? Country singer-songwriter Conner Smith landed his firstpublishing deal on Music Row at 16 years old. By 21, he was opening for his heroes. By 24, he'd gone independent, walked away from a label, and released a raw 10-song acoustic record, not because anyone told him to, but because it wasthe first music he ever actually believed in.In this conversation, Conner opens up to Miles about themoment he stopped writing songs for approval and started writing them for himself, why going independent felt less like a career risk and more like self-respect, and the story of June 8th — the night he was involved in a fatal accident. He shares how grief, silence, and the community that showed up becamethe foundation for the most important growth of his life, what it was like to sit with the family of the woman who died, and why honoring her legacy is now woven into who he's becoming. The conversations we have on Human School are shaped by the work happening every day at Onsite.

Alana Springsteen: Learning You Don't Have to Earn Love
What if the songs you've been writing were actually thetherapy you desperately needed? What if the version of you that felt like the black sheep your whole life was the one who would help the rest of us feel less alone? Alana Springsteen has been performing since before she knewwhat performing cost her. She signed her first publishing deal at 14, earned a gold record before she turned 25, CMT's Next Women of Country, and has shared stages with Keith Urban and Tyler Hubbard — all while quietly carrying a version of herself she hadn't yet figured out how to put down. Her sophomorealbum, I Hope This Helps, is the result of what happened when she stopped grinding and started digging. Miles and Alana go deep into the fear woven into her faith,the people-pleasing that had her questioning “why,” the EMDR session that surfaced a memory from four years old, and the eating disorder she kept hidden until she was finally ready to let her mom in. This is a conversation about what it costs to become who you were always meant to be and the honesty aboutthe journey to get there. In this conversation, you'll learn:How to Tell the Difference Between Faith and FearHow Performing for Love Slowly Erodes Your IdentityHow to Use Curiosity as a Tool for DeconstructionHow People-Pleasing Becomes a Mask You Can't Take OffHow to Pick Up the Mirror Instead of the MicroscopeHow EMDR Unlocks Childhood Memories Still Running Your Adult LifeHow to Recognize When Validation Has Become a DrugHow to Write Your Way Through Seasons That Would Otherwise Break YouHow to Let Your Parents See Who You Actually AreHow to Stop Waiting for Permission to Love Yourself The conversations we have on Human School are shaped by the work happening every day at Onsite.

With deep mastery in psychodrama, she has brought healing to therapy rooms across the world.

In this conversation, Mary opens up about what it means tobe a catalyst without burning out, why loneliness is cured by learning to be alone, and how shame shields the grief we won't feel. She shares the moment a young man in Uganda said, "I'm just a boy," and freed himself from years of soldiers' shame.

Thomas Rhett: The Pressure to Get It "Right"
Real healing for real people. Onsite offers personal growth workshops and intensive therapeutic experiences just outside Nashville and San Diego. Learn more at experienceonsite.com.Have you ever stood in the middle of a life that looks great on paper and still felt like you were failing the people right in front of you?What if being hard on yourself isn't humility? It's just the long way around to never believing you're enough? And what happens when the same obsessive drive that makes you world-class at your craft is the exact thing that makes it hard to just sit down and watch your kid eat cereal slowly? Miles sits down with his longtime friend for one of the most honest and wide-open episodes yet. Thomas Rhett brings all of himself — the songwriter who goes all in on everything he loves, the dad of five learning to trade productivity for presence, and the man doing the real work to make sure who his family experiences every day is the same person the world admires from a distance. This one is full of laughter, hard-won wisdom, and the kind of honesty that only happens between two people who genuinely trust each other. This conversation is about the guy who flips on the bedroom lights at 6:30 AM, trying to get five kids out the door, and wonders on the drive home if he loved them well at all that morning. The man who told a new friend upfront, "I'm not a good friend" — and actually believed it. The songwriter who can make strangers cry but struggles to list three ways he was showing up for his own kids. Miles and Thomas Rhett go deep into what it actually looks like to chase congruence, to be as present and real inside your home as you are when the world is watching. Thomas Rhett shares what his first trip to Onsite taught him about letting go, how a simple question from his counselor cracked something open about the way he sees himself as a father, why he's writing his most intentional album yet, and what he hopes his kids say about him long after the number ones stop counting. In this conversation, you'll learn:How to Stop Measuring Your Worth by Rooms That Aren't FullHow to Ask the Question: "How Do I Know I'm a Great Father?"How to Parent Five Kids Completely Differently Without Losing Your MindHow to Shed Your Stage Persona the Moment You Walk Through Your Front DoorHow to Redefine Success So You Can Actually Sleep at NightHow to Have the Friendship You Want Instead of the One You've Labeled Yourself WithHow to Live Like You Know You're Going to Die - Ecclesiastes editionHow to Stop Fixing and Start Being Present in the MessHow to Give Yourself the Dugout Grace Every Parent Desperately NeedsHow to Use Your Obsessive Nature as a Superpower Instead of a Trap Follow Human School:YouTube - Human School PodcastInstagram - @humanschoolofficialThreads - @humanschoolofficialTikTok - @humanschoolofficial Chapters:00:00:00 – Meet Thomas Rhett Akins00:03:18 – Trucks, Gear & Going All In00:07:54 – Soundtrack of the Masters: A Career Highlight00:09:29 – Golf is a Metaphor for Life00:17:44 – Tiger Wood’s & Nick Saben’s Life Advice00:22:01 – The 6:30 AM Spiral with Five Kids00:24:17 – Wisdom from John Maxwell & Worst-Case Scenarios00:28:19 – The Question That Started This Friendship00:30:14 – What Raising Four Daughters is Teaching Him00:35:49 – The Discipline of Being Present00:41:23 – Work-Life Balance Is a Myth00:42:37 – "They Just Need to See Your Eyes"00:47:10 – What Breaks His Heart Most as a Dad00:52:07 – "How Do You Know You're a Great Father?"00:54:10 – The Coach’s Influence Still Impacting Him00:55:14 – Showing Up in Friendships 00:58:01 – The Round Table & A, B & C Friendships01:04:10 – Answering the “Great Father” Question01:20:30 – Ecclesiastes & Living Like You're Going to Die01:37:44 – Redefining What a “Hit” Actually Means01:43:32 – Onsite & The Rock in the River 01:47:52 – 36-Year-Old TR Would Tell 25-Year-Old TR01:52:49 – What He Hopes His Kids Will Remember

Jefferson opens up about the moment being a public-facing person started changing his everyday life, why going to extremes in arguments almost never works, and the phrase his wife came up with mid-argument that changed how he sees conflict.
