No. 01: Why we're here

You don't have to be born here to make a difference here.

No. 01: Why we're here

I'm an Air Force veteran. I've been in Nashville five years, and my wife and I are building a life here.

Somewhere in those five years I learned something: you don't have to be born and raised in a city to make a difference in it.

When I got here, finding a community felt like picking a side. You were either a tourist or a local. If you hadn't been here long enough, you didn't get a say in what happened here.

I didn't agree with that. So I'm doing something about it.

The Daily Flock is Nashville for the people who actually live here. It's not a ticket company trying to upsell you, and it's not a tourist guide. It's what's actually going on, from people who are actually here. Whether you moved here yesterday or you've been here 30 years, this place is for you.

You're going to watch me build it in real time: the wins, the losses, and the days it flat out sucks. The twentieth take it took to get one video right. The car that drove by in the middle of it. It isn't clean. Everybody online pretends it's clean, and I'm done pretending.

The goal is simple: a community that supports and loves one another, through the good and the bad.

By the locals, for the locals.

Don't get Broadway'd.
