"What an amazing time visiting with Country Music Success Stories. They were so prepared and dug deep into the music and songwriting. You will hear behind the scenes conversations never heard before,” expressed Frank Myers.
“I think I've played "You And I" on the radio a thousand times and never could have imagined that, one day, I'd be sitting beside the man who wrote the song. Frank Myers is full of stories, including how he wrote “You And I”, “I Swear, I'm Already There”, and “My Front Porch Lookin' In.” If you are a songwriter, this is an episode you just can't miss. Oh, and having a tour of his man cave was AMAZING.” stated Candy O’Terry.
"Having the opportunity to sit and talk with a songwriting icon like Frank Myers was inspiring in every way“ shares Jacy Valeras. “ His dedication to his craft is remarkable, and the wisdom he shares in this episode is some of the best advice a young, aspiring artist can hear.”

After spending a week together in Nashville with the idea of doing a 4-part series for O’Terry’s award-winning podcast and radio program The Story Behind Her Success, the two realized that the city was rich with stories to tell and that a platform for music industry stories, combined with the rich content Valeras had accumulated through her YouTube series, might be a hit. As life-long singers and country music fans, Candy & Jacy have a clear vision of the guests they seek. “We’re on the lookout for women and men who aren’t afraid to tell the world how they got to where they are today in the music business….including the good times when they were riding high, and the bad times when they were on the verge of giving up. These stories are meant to teach and inspire others to take a chance on living their dreams.”
