He is best known for his song, "Eyes on You" which has over a quarter billion streams on Spotify, and for co-writing the #1 hit, "Cruise" with Florida Georgia Line.  In this Episode, Chase shares how he got started in making music.

That focus would help him overcome many adversities on his way to becoming an Apache Pilot, a dream he had since childhood. On one tour of duty in Iraq, Millard developed a rare disease which caused his fascia to swell, making it nearly impossible for him to even open his hands. He was medically discharged and checked into a hospital where he began his journey to recovery. TJ again had to channel his laser-focus and direct that energy into healing. After many long months or treatment, and use of the Wim Hof Method, TJ was able to re-gain mobility and return to civilian life with a tolerable amount of pain.

Today he is a drone pilot for commercials, TV shows, and films, as well as an actor, writer and director.  In this episode, Brock and Will ask TJ about his experience in the military.
