What do cicadas, a Ford dealership, and the hustle of Nashville's music scene all have in common? They are just a few highlights of our latest episode where I reunite with the phenomenal singer-songwriter Tara Lynn Pfister. Reminiscing about our chaotic childhood moments and Tara's courageous leap to Nashville at 21, we share an authentic, laughter-filled conversation. From Rudy Brynek's surprise piano performance to the cicadas disrupting school, our walk down memory lane is full of joy, unexpected noises, and genuine friendship.
Tara opens up about her unpredictable journey in the Nashville music scene, starting with a chance encounter at a bar and the challenges of crashing on a friend's couch. We draw some eye-opening parallels between the gig-based lives of musicians and comedians, including the nightmare of 1099 tax forms and the supportive artist community. Our candid chat reveals the hustle, adaptability, and resilience it takes to chase dreams in Music City, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating a creative career.
We also get personal, discussing the grit needed to thrive in male-dominated industries, self-respect, and the impact of ADHD. Tara's path, filled with quirky gigs and the unforgettable Horny Toad venue, is a testament to sacrifice and determination. Plus, we share our wild adventures, from awkward mornings in Swiss homes to sledding down the Alps. It's a blend of humor, heartfelt moments, and the universal joy of pursuing artistic passions against all odds. Tune in for a wild, inspiring ride that celebrates the essence of friendship and the courage to follow one's dreams.
