Tucker Wetmore stops by and walks Bobby through the nerves leading up to his CMA performance. He describes what it felt like backstage, how he calmed himself down, and why he can be his own toughest critic even when everything goes right. Tucker also opens up about the moment he dropped out of college and finally told his mom he was going all-in on music, plus the family and faith background that shaped him growing up.Then it turns into a full timeline of the grind: moving to Nashville with what he could fit in a POD, working whatever jobs he could, DoorDashing for two years, and stretching meals while he tried to make songwriting and the right meetings happen. Tucker breaks down how posting covers on TikTok helped open doors, what changed once he started writing every day, and how that momentum turned into a Nashville publishing deal. Along the way, he shares a complicated family story involving his biological dad and what it was like reconnecting as an adult.
