Sam Ryder - ‘Fame is like giving a dog a treat every single day. You get used to it.’

Over on Failing with Friends - Sam Ryder talks about panic attacks, how to forgive, and (in a How To Fail first) why he likes to cut his toenails outdoors. To hear Sam tackling your failures join our community of subscribers here: https://howtofail.supportingcast.fm/#content Sam Ryder is a British singer-songwriter who started posting covers on TikTok during the pandemic that ended up catching the eye of Sia, Elton John and Justin Bieber. He represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2022, placing second only to Ukraine. It was our highest-scoring entry in 24 years. In one of my favourite ever episodes, Sam talks about the pressures of fame, the challenge of keeping ego in check, the transformative power of gratitude and why he thinks Dolly Parton is ‘the supreme being’. We also talk about tracks from Sam Ryder’s upcoming album, including his single ‘White Lies’ out 21st March. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 01:08 Early Life and Career 03:26 The Wedding Singer Years 08:20 Rising to Fame 18:36 The TikTok Breakthrough 23:56 Failures and Reflections 24:58 The Illusion of Positivity 26:35 Groundedness and Realistic Thinking 27:56 The Role of Faith and Spirituality 30:48 Ego and Gratitude 33:44 Navigating the Music Industry 40:45 Family and Personal Life 43:36 Reflections on Success and Failure 46:00 Famous Encounters and Final Thoughts Have something to share of your own?
