Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love, number 128.

I'm creator and host, Don Hutchison.

Every day I interview someone from around the world who has discovered her talents to do work she loves to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom. Today I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Adley Stump. Welcome, Adley.

Hey, Don. Thanks so much for having me.

Delighted to have you on the show.

So a quick question. Are you using your talents doing work that you love?

Absolutely.

We want to hear the whole story.

Adley Stump's career in the music industry was kick-started by her infamous run on season two of NBC's The Voice, Team Blake.

She is currently being featured as one of 12 celebrity icons that have made a name for

themselves independently in the book, How They Sell Music. Adley will tell her story and inspire

other artists around the world to follow their dreams and teach them how to make

a living with their music. Fans can rest assured, Adley is only at the beginning of what she

will accomplish in the next few years. Adley, that's a pithy summation. Tell us what you're up to now

that you're excited about. Oh, Don, there's so much to be excited about right now. I'm beyond blessed. And I'm trying to keep it all straight. You know, we're on the road. We're touring our latest single, a musically, a stay-at-home soldier. And so we're out touring military bases, we're really trying to understand. For me personally, what I'm singing about. That's very important to me, artistically, as well as for my integrity, of what I

released out into the world. Keeping intact with everything that we've got, business-wise, while we're

on the road, the book obviously just did very, very well on Amazon. It hit five bestsellers

lists on its way to number one for its category in the United States. And number one,

a Canada. Thank you so much. I'm very, very humbled by that to see my passion project, just prove its value and hold water. You know, that feels great. Yes. And then obviously, it's kind of a balance between balancing stay-at-home soldier, which has become its own thing. We just signed the new deal for its appearance on Lifetime as a three- three segment tier to kind of prove its value,

right, if it does good, if it could be its own standalone show, balancing that, balancing

the progression and the scalability of the book and platform of how they sell music.
