1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Podcast Playground, I'm Buzzsnight, I'm the next Taking a Walk podcast,

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: I Am Thrilled with Another in our series of Nashville shows.

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Carrie Edwards is the founder and president of management firm

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: KP Entertainment, and she manages the careers, among others, of

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: country stars Luke Bryan and Cole swind Out. Now, do

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: you have a sense of how important a figure you

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: are in the business to females in the Nashville music workforce? Well,

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: that is a very good question, because I think it

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: really hit me in the last probably three or four years,

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: because I just put my head down and go and

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: do my deal, and I love what I do and

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: I love music, so honestly, I had never really truly

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: stopped and thought of it that way. But then I

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: started of now that person that you walk in the

15
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: room and you're looking around and people are like, hey A.

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: But then I'm like, oh, no, I don't know who

17
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 1: that is. I've become that person, which makes me mad,

18
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: But it's also a compliment in my opinion, because I

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: remember doing that, you know, to people that I've looked

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: up to and admired and like followed what they did.

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: And the first few times that happened to me personally.

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it did kind of freak me out in

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: the moment because I'm like, I've always known everybody. I

24
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: do not know who this is. But then, you know,

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I put it in perspective, and

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that made me realize, like,

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: oh gosh. And then and then just like I do

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: try to do stuff and trying to do even more

29
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: in the community and outreach and doing some coffees and

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: some sit downs and you know, with people that reach

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: out and and just inquire and say they have questions

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: and they want to, you know, get to know me,

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. I try not to ignore those.

34
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: I think that's an important part of how we keep

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: this legacy going in general for country music. That's next

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: time I'm taking a walk and
