This week's guest is Canadian born songwriter, Kelly Archer.  You may know her from her work with Jason Aldean, Chris Lane, Justin Moore, or even her Brett Young hit "Sleeping Without You".   Don't miss her stories about a "germ", breaking down all alone in the middle of Colorado, and how "hot apple pie" helped her make friends and break into the Nashville music business.  It's a must listen...

Hit Country Songwriter Kelly Archer sits down to discuss her wild journey and career, including: From re-writing songs for fun to taking a leap of faith and becoming a hit songwriter The loneliness of chasing your dreams and importance of community What does networking, finding your friends &amp; champions, and betting on yourself look like? Follow the free snacks (and booze)! The flip from being in-demand to having to prove you deserve to be in the room Writing songs for men that feel authentic (and don’t belittle women) The difference between working with men and women Back to basics - writing what and with whom brings you joy after trying to fit in You can choose to not work with assholes (and you should) Teams that have your back and what it looks like to know your worth The difference between established creatives and the new generation - good and bad The story behind “Sleep Without You” by Brett Young and other hits Eric Church is Basically Taylor Swift - Get over it! Male champions for women in music - we love to see it! The sacrifices and rewards of betting on yourself Re-writing the same idea and why it’s important to always change your POV Being one of (if not the only) woman in your “class” of peers Caring too much is a blessing and a curse - know when to lean in &amp; when to let go  Kelly's Bio: Kelly Archer hails from the beautiful Pacific Northwest of Canada and has been a signed writer in Nashville for the past 20 years. Kelly's songs have been recorded by Jason Aldean, Brett Young, Justin Moore, Travis Denning, Reba, Tricia Yearwood, Eli Young Band, Dustin Lynch, Jo Dee Messina, Montgomery Gentry, Cassadee Pope, Lindsay Ell, Natalie Hemby (Puxico), Chris Lane in the U.S. and Meghan Patrick, Tyler Joe Miller, Tebey, Jess Moskaluke, Shawn Austen, Matt Lang, The Washboard Union and many more in Canada.  Kelly has had several songs placed in the series “Nashville” and she received the AIMP "Rising Songwriter of the year" award for 2017. Kelly celebrated her first number one song with Brett Young's  "Sleep without you", her second number one with Justin Moore's "Somebody Else Will",  and recently her 3rd #1 with Travis Denning's "After a few".
