Join hosts Eric Kilby and Mike Jay this week for an encouraging and very special episode with their dear friend Al Andrews. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Porter's Call, a non-profit organization that specializes in counseling, free of charge, specifically to recording artists: "A place to be real. A guide who understands. A story to be told." Al has worked with artists in multiple genres such as Christian, Country, Pop, Gospel, and Goth to mention a few. He is a trusted friend to so many in the entertainment industry and we are so thankful to spend some quality time with him.

Some highlights, topics, and quotes you don't want to miss in this episode include:

• "You don't have to be on TMZ doing something stupid!"
• Too much fame, not enough fame. Too much money, not enough money.
• Artists being courageous on stage...it can be a very lonely place.
• The background and story behind Porter's Call
• "I thought anyone who had a CD had plenty of money!"
• Co-writes don't happen here
• The current mental state in our country as a result of COVID
• "Everybody makes money from me..." and then I said "...well I don't!"

Make sure you listen to this week's Road Map for Life where Al shares some truth that will definitely impact your life.
