Marty and Clay walk through six things every songwriter hits on the way up — starting with the one nobody warns you about: a first taste of success can knock you sideways just as hard as a failure can. Along the way there's the guaranteed Carrie Underwood single that never came out, the week Marty spent looking up night law schools in Nashville, and Brett James quitting songwriting for med school right before 35 cuts landed in a single year. The through line is simple: go back home to why you started, and hold on to your core no matter which way it breaks. Write on.
