In this episode, Laura and Tracy sit down with songwriter, producer and publisher Luke Laird. Luke talks the magic of writers' rounds, being reluctant to ask for help, letting go of jealousy and the nitty gritty details of his early publishing deals. Laura also shares the story of a pivotal moment that lead to her being a songwriter. Ferocious talent, wit, and sincere humility rarely come together like they do in Grammy winner Luke Laird. Since moving to Nashville from a small farming town in Pennsylvania, Laird has become one of country and pop's top songwriters and producers. The numbers are staggering: 52 radio singles –– 24 of which were Billboard No. 1 hits and 5 of which were in the Top 5 –– 2 Billboard No. 1 singles as a producer, and more than 125 released cuts fill his catalog. In four separate years, every single released that Laird wrote peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. He earned ACM Songwriter of the Year honors in 2015, and was named BMI Songwriter of the Year in 2012.   As a producer, Laird has helped shape some of music's most critically acclaimed projects of the last decade. He co-produced Kacey Musgraves' 2013 debut, Same Trailer, Different Park, which garnered Grammy honors for Best Country Album and an ACM Album of the Year win. In 2015, he returned to the studio with Musgraves to co-produce her triumphant sophomore release, Pageant Material. Laird earned his second Grammy for Best Country Song with Musgraves' “Space Cowboy” in 2019. He also has producer credits on Thomas Rhett, Ingrid Michaelson, Brett Eldredge, Steve Moakler, Everette, Kassi Ashton, Anna Vaus and more.   A slew of Grammy, ACM, CMA, and other nominations line Laird's resume, which also includes six CMA Triple Play Awards, four NSAI “Songs I Wish I'd Written” Awards, the 2012 BMI Country Song of the Year trophy for Rodney Atkins' “Take a Back Road,” and more. His list of No. 1 singles reads like a carefully curated playlist of soulful contemporary country: “Hard To Forget” (Sam Hunt); “Fast” and “I See You” (Luke Bryan); “Head Over Boots” (Jon Pardi); “T-Shirt” (Thomas Rhett); “Gonna” and “Hillbilly Bone” (Blake Shelton); “Talladega,” “Give Me Back My Hometown,” and “Drink In My Hand” (Eric Church); “American Kids” (Kenny Chesney); “Sunshine & Whiskey” (Frankie Ballard); “One of Those Nights” (Tim McGraw); “Downtown” (Lady Antebellum); “Somebody's Heartbreak” (Hunter Hayes); “Beat This Summer” (Brad Paisley); “Pontoon” (Little Big Town); “You” (Chris Young); “A Little Bit Stronger” (Sara Evans); “Take A Back Road” (Rodney Atkins); and “Temporary Home,” “Undo It,” “So Small,” and “Last Name” (Carrie Underwood).   Other artists who have recorded Laird-penned songs represent a jaw-dropping grab bag of genres: George Strait, Maren Morris, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Brandy Clark, Toby Keith, Jake Owen, Steve Moakler, Sister Hazel, Ingrid Michaelson, Ashley Monroe, Sam Hunt, Angaleena Presley, Nikki Lane, Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean, Sheryl Crow, Brett Eldredge, Florida Georgia Line, Ne-Yo, Neal McCoy, Amy Grant, and many more.   Laird recently released his own record, Music Row, that offers an intimate look into his journey from Hartstown to Nashville. The first-ever record from one of music's most trusted creators and collaborators, Music Row is a songwriter's story, traversing childhood, grief, addiction, family, and the community he loves. The songs are deeply personal and sometimes raw, all delivered by the songwriter himself.   Today, Laird writes for and co-owns Nashville-based publishing and management company Creative Nation with his wife, Beth.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Not everyone in the music industry has known that's where they wanted to be at an early age. In the case of Beth Laird, a forced internship with her childhood nanny, resulted in finding a life-long passion and drive for music and artists. Beth is the CEO and founder of Creative Nation Music and has been turning Nashville on its head for years.  Her perspective on mindset and courage is truly amazing. It was her courage to make shifts and try new things that pushed her to greater and greater heights in the music industry. That same courage helped her to step into her own publishing company when she realized that she was not meant to serve the masses.  The experiences she gained while working with country music legends helped her to start and grow her own publishing company. She now focuses more energy on fewer people and is dedicated to helping them build the life and careers that they love.  Creative Nation has had 17 #1 hit songs (so far!) and has had songs recorded by top artists such as Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, John Legend, Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum, Blake Shelton, and many others. Creative Nation's roster includes Lori McKenna, Alec Bailey, Barry Dean, Bear Rinehart, Luke Laird, Casey Brown, Jonathan Hutcherson, Kassi Ashton, Steve Moakler, Travis Wood, and Tyler Johnson.  She credits her faith and her ongoing relationship with her therapist for helping her to put into place a super positive workplace culture. Her staff, and the artists and writers that she works with, are all like family and they have very specific guidelines for anyone new coming into their sphere. Listen as she shares her story in the music industry. Everything that she has been through, all the good and the bad, have led her to an amazing place and she is so excited to share her dream with her family.  We even touch on women in the music industry and her thoughts and the disparity in success between genders. While she thinks we can do better, she also has a powerful way of dealing with that disparity. Listen in to learn more. Show Highlights:   [01:37] Beth has had an amazing run in Music City. Listen as she shares her “big” break. [03:19] Did she have an interest in the music industry when she started interning?  [05:32] Listen as Beth shares why being open to opportunity is so important in life.  [08:34] Even though she was scared to make career moves, she did them anyway.  [11:07] It's so important to take calculated risks rather than simply leaping into decisions.  [12:13] Why therapy has made all the difference in her life and business.  [14:01] What happened after college?  [17:43] Beth shares the story of how she and her husband Luke met.  [18:28] What is a song plugger?  [20:32] Why her experience at BMI was transformative.  [23:08] Learn why the job became too much and she started to burn out.  [25:43] Beth and co-owner Luke used their own money to bankroll Creative Nation.

[33:30] Moving from years 1-5 to years 5-10 is really like doubling down.  [34:59] How did they sign Lori McKenna?  [38:14] Why doing it all for a small set of people really fits Beth's personality.  [40:05] What are they looking for when they sign new artists and writers.  [43:34] Are things different for staff writers versus independent writers?  [46:40] Is it harder for songwriters to earn now?  [48:33] Do women still struggle to have equal success in the country music industry?  [54:40] What advice would Beth give to an aspiring publishing company owner?  [56:27] Beth shares her advice for aspiring staff writers.    LINKS & RESOURCES   Beth Laird: Creative Nation Music@creativenationmusic on Instagram@bethmasonlaird on Instagram   Follow The Music Makers:  The Music Makers on Instagram   The Music Makers podcast theme song was written and produced by Andy Kushner with help from the rhythm section and horn players of the band, SoundConnection: Elliot Jefferson, Lamonte Silver, Keith Hammond, Roy Lambert, Joe Herrera, and Craig Alston.   Sponsor: Kushner Entertainment    Check out Andy's Other Podcast: The Wedding Biz

Weird highway moments, rescheduling, and producing with Justin Osborne of Susto and writer/producer Casey Brown. Justin popped in after releasing Ever Since I Lost My Mind to talk about the record and current life. Then writer/producer Casey Brown talks life after school producing for Russel Dickerson, Laura Story, Megan & Liz, Secret Nation, and more.   Justin Osborne is the frontman of Susto. The name Susto describes an intense fear understood as a condition of the soul––an ongoing, spiritual panic attack. As Justin and I dive into his latest project, Ever Since I Lost I Mind, it's apparent susto is not just a name but an identity to the music. We talk highway finds, songwriting and his uniqueness in songwriting, and talk through some of our favorite tracks. Follow everything about Susto at  and follow him @sustoisreal.   Casey Brown is one of the newest signees to Nashville based publishing company Creative Nation. Rightly so especially after the massive success of Russell Dickerson's no. 1 "Yours" that Casey co-wrote and produced. Casey co-wrote seven additional tracks on Russell's record. Then, Brown flexed different muscles and produced the entire record. His wins aren’t limited to his career-launching work with Dickerson: Megan+Liz, Building 429, Sidewalk Prophets, Francesca Battistelli, Finding Favour, Tauren Wells, and many more artists spanning multiple genres have recorded Brown’s thoughtfully crafted songs. Casey takes us from life from Connecticut and Texas to finding his flavor of musical tastes in college in Nashville, TN. Making friends and long-lasting connections in school. He admits that you get what you put into school, but it's outside of class that really matters. We talk producing records, working with artists, and finding your steps in life. Follow Casey Brown @thecaseybrown.

In the 1990s, Australian experimental and avant-garde film traditions were displaced – at the level of theory, policy and practice. The 1994 ‘Creative Nation’ policy announced the Keating Government’s enthusiasm for innovation and digital media. Australian artists and organisations scrambled to claim ground, funds and relevance in an era marked by insistent declarations of the end of the avant-garde, the end of cinema and the inevitability of a digital future. Two decades on the innovation rhetoric is louder than ever, but there is a near vacuum of funding for experimental film practice through film funding agencies. Dr Maura Edmond presents a historical take on the question of where-to-now for film (and film studies) in an era of convergent screen media, by looking at a period in which those questions were considered at length by filmmakers, institutions, critics and policymakers. Maura is joined by Phoebe Macrossan for a Q&A where they discuss some of these issues with the audience.

Driving a wedge between small and big business is not helpful to securing the growth we need. That’s what the chiefs of the CBI and Federation of Small Businesses said as they came together with Amazon and superfoods company Creative Nation for a Great Business Debate panel event.
