More recently, they helped bring the music of K-Pop Demon Hunters to life, contributing to one of the biggest entertainment stories of the year.But this episode isn't really about the songs. It's about the journey.It's about almost giving up. It's about betting on yourself when nobody else sees the vision. It's about spending years developing your craft before the opportunities finally arrive.In this conversation, Jenna and Stephen share the stories behind their careers, the lessons they've learned working with some of the biggest artists in the world, what BTS was really like to work with, and how K-Pop Demon Hunters came together behind the scenes.💡 This conversation is for YOU if:🔥 You're an artist, songwriter, producer, or creative trying to make it🔥 You've ever questioned whether you're on the right path🔥 You love BTS, K-pop, or K-Pop Demon Hunters🔥 You want to learn what success actually looks like behind the scenesI've always believed the most valuable lessons come from hearing successful people talk honestly about the struggles, setbacks, failures, and experiences that shaped them long before the world knew their names.Jenna and Stephen, thank you both for your openness, generosity, and willingness to share your story.

GaryVee has spent the last two decades building businesses, predicting trends, and helping millions of people navigate the internet. But this conversation wasn't really about entrepreneurship.

Gary shares lessons from his own journey, what he's learned from watching millions of people online, and why he believes most people are dramatically underestimating themselves.🎵 Want to release your own music?

Lauren Christy helped create the soundtrack of an entire generation.
Before she was writing songs like "Complicated," "Sk8er Boi," "I'm With You," and countless other hits, she was a songwriter trying to find her place in an industry that didn't always know what to do with her.
In this episode of Behind The Wall, Lauren takes us through her incredible journey from aspiring artist to one of the most influential songwriters and producers of the last two decades. We talk about forming The Matrix, discovering Avril Lavigne, creating the songs that helped define the 2000s, and the reality of what happens after your life changes overnight.
But this conversation isn't just about hit songs. It's about betting on yourself when nobody else sees the vision. It's about surviving the uncertainty that comes before success. And it's about what it really feels like when the thing you've spent your entire life chasing finally happens.
This conversation is for YOU if:
🔥 You're a songwriter, artist, producer, or creative chasing a dream
🔥 You grew up on the music of the 2000s and want to hear the stories behind it
🔥 You've ever wondered how songs like "Complicated," "Sk8er Boi," and "I'm With You" were actually made
🔥 You've ever felt like success was taking longer than it should
What hit me most wasn't just hearing the stories behind these records. It was hearing Lauren talk about the years before anyone knew her name, the setbacks, the sacrifices, and the moments where everything could have gone differently.
So many people know these songs. Very few know the story of the woman who helped create them.
Lauren, thank you for your honesty, your generosity, and for helping shape the music that so many of us grew up with. It was an honor to finally go Behind The Wall with you.
And thank you to everyone who continues to support this show and help bring these conversations to life. I truly believe this episode will inspire the next generation of creatives.

For my whole life, my biggest dream felt impossible.I dreamed of one day singing on stage with Coldplay. I had no idea how it would happen, and most of the time I honestly didn't believe it ever could, but I held onto that dream anyway.This video is not just about me singing on stage with my favorite band. It is about what can happen when you give yourself permission to dream bigger than what you thought was possible.My mission with Behind The Wall has always been to help the next generation of creatives believe in themselves, stay curious, and keep going. Coldplay played a huge part in shaping that mindset for me, and I'll always be grateful for how their music helped me keep moving forward, especially when I was sick in the hospital and having surgeries every six months for my childhood and teenage life.I hope one kid out there watches this and feels inspired the same way Coldplay inspired me years ago. That is why this is the most important video I've put out so far. Because I remember what Coldplay did for me, and if I can do that for someone else, it is one of the greatest gifts of all.And for anyone in a hospital room right now, or going through something that feels bigger than you, I remember what it feels like to not know how things will turn out. Please keep believing. Keep going. Keep dreaming.I want to thank everyone who helped me get here, every friend who encouraged me, every artist who trusted me with their story, every person who watched even one of my videos, and everyone who supported this journey behind the scenes. And thank you to Coldplay, Chris Martin, Phil Harvey, Will Champion, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman, and the entire team for helping make this moment possible. And most importantly, thank you to every single person who liked, shared, or supported the original TikTok and YouTube Short that helped make this dream come true.I also want to dedicate this video to my mom and my grandfather.Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I wanted to release this video for Mother's Day because my mom believed in me before I believed in myself. She believed in me no matter how big my dreams were. She stayed in the hospital with me through every surgery and was always there whenever I needed her. I love you forever, and I'm so grateful to have you as my mom.To my grandfather, who is no longer with us, you showed me what it means to work hard and chase something with your whole heart, even when society didn't think you could. Love you forever.Through every medical challenge and difficult time, you both helped me believe in myself, keep going, and dream bigger than what I thought was possible. I’m forever grateful to both of you.If you're a creative and your dreams feel impossible, I hope this video reminds you that impossible things can happen. Because if I can sing on stage with my favorite band, there's no limit to what is possible. Now it's your turn to follow your dreams and Everglow!
