The unhinged decisions that made perfect sense at the time. The stuff most people take to the grave, but Aimee talks about into a microphone. Some episodes are just Aimee.

This conversation is funny, emotional, philosophical, and full of moments that will make you see the world differently. Subscribe for more wild stories, unforgettable guests, and the unbelievable moments in life that make you stop and say... Wait. What? Gordon Mote Bio Most people have never heard of Gordon Mote. But they've heard him play piano. Blind since birth, Alabama-born musician Gordon Mote has spent three decades becoming Nashville's secret weapon. A pianist, singer, songwriter, and producer, he has played on hundreds of hit records, released 15 albums, won three Academy of Country Music Awards for Keyboard Player of the Year, and earned multiple Grammy and Dove nominations. He holds an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Jacksonville State University. His story is just as extraordinary and inspiring as his music. He was one of the first blind students in the country to mainstream into the public school system. Mote received a full scholarship to Jacksonville State University before transferring to Belmont University in Nashville, where he graduated with honors. Just two days after graduation, he was hired by Lee Greenwood, launching a career that would take him into studios and onto stages around the world.
