I'm J.J. Heller, and this is Instrumental, a show about the big and small moments that shape our lives.

In every episode, my guest and I start near the end of their story and work our way back to the beginning.

I hope our conversation reminds you that every second matters, because none of us knows which moment will be the one that changes everything

big love happens in the small moments

hi everyone is jj hi everyone it's d. This is the final episode of season two.

Are you going to cry?

I don't think so.

I will guarantee you that I will cry during this episode.

Well, yeah, I mean, I cry later.

I'm not going to cry right now, though.

Not because it's the end of the season, but because our guest today is such a great storyteller.

Yeah. Al Andrews is the kind of person who somehow validates who you are while simultaneously challenging you to step into the potential of who you could

be. Al is the founder of a counseling service called Porter's Call here in Nashville, Tennessee,

which may sound familiar if you heard our interview earlier this season with Beth Barkas.

Porter's Call exclusively helps traveling artists in Nashville.

And we both have really benefited from Porter's Call Services.

Yes, hours and hours over the years.

Mostly, JJ.

But we won't go into that.

Some of us need a little more help than others.

But there is so much wisdom and goodness in this interview, and we're excited for you to hear it.

There is a reason why we chose to close season two of instrumental with Al's story.
