Drew Holcomb is a fantastic musician and plays with a group called Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors. In fact, The Neighbors actually just released their ninth album, called Strangers No More (LINKED HERE). Drew is a Tennessee man - born in Memphis, went to school at Univ of Tennessee in Knoxville, and now lives in Nashville with his wife Ellie, who is also a well-known, talented musician, and his three kiddos, Emmylou, Huck, and Rivers. He also started a really incredible music festival in my home town of Chattanooga called Moon River. People come from all over for that one they get amazing acts to come play. It is really well done. Drew's humor is dry and direct, which made this conversation a lot of fun. He's honest and unafraid to tell it like it is. The back half of this conversation is especially great. We talk about living in community, why our job as parents is not to entertain our kids, and Drew gives his take on vulnerability as well as some other unsolicited advice. Above it all, Drew is an incredible man, husband, and father, and it was an honor to host him on the show
