My career in the entertainment industry has enabled me to work with a diverse range of talent.

Through my years of experience, I've recognized

two essential aspects. Industry professionals, whether famous stars, or behind-the-scenes staff,

have fascinating stories to tell. Secondly, audiences are eager to listen to these stories, which

offer a glimpse into their lives and the

evolution of their life stories. This podcast aims to share these narratives, providing information

on how they evolve into their chosen career. We will delve into their journey to stardom,

discuss their struggles and successes, and hear from people who help them achieve their goals.

Get ready for intriguing behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the fascinating world of entertainment.

Hi, I'm Tony Mantor. Welcome to Almost Live Nashville.

Joining us today is Jane Weidlin. She's a true trailblazer in music and culture. She's

a founding member of the Go-Go's, the first all-female band to write their own songs, play their

own instruments, and top the charts. Beyond the music, she's an acclaimed songwriter, actor,

activist, and voice for compassion and creativity. From timeless hits

to a career rooted in creativity and purpose, she has such a great story to tell. So before we

dive into our episode, we'll be back with an uninterrupted show right after a word from our sponsors.

Thanks for coming on. I'm happy to be here.
