This week, Shannon welcomes her friend and music management superstar, Sophia Sansone! They chat about how they met, her experience breaking into the music industry, and what it was like growing up with 8 siblings (and being on Oprah). Shannon asks Sophia about her career evolution, from being a fresh face in Nashville to managing high-profile clients like Luke and Nicole Combs and The Band Perry. Sophia opens up about a personal tumultuous relationship, the importance of leaning on faith and family, and how she overcame the experience. Tune in for an episode with an equal dose of silliness and resilience.
