This week, Laura and Tracy are joined by songwriter Andy Albert. He details his humble beginnings in Nashville living with multiple roommates in a run-down house, struggling to get a publishing deal and nearly throwing in the towel. Spoiler alert: he sticks it out eventually scores a bunch of hits. Though his success is inspiring on its own, his openness about the difficult times makes this one of the most relatable interviews yet. Andy Albert is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter originally from Roswell, Georgia. Since moving to town in 2011 he has co-written 150+ songs for various Country, rock, and pop artists.
