Not That Famous Podcast
Podcast Description
We spend so much time learning from people who seem untouchable: millionaires, public figures, celebs, perfect Instagram feeds. But the best lessons? They’re living right next door. “Not That Famous” is about ordinary lives with extraordinary lessons. In each episode, I sit down with people who’ve seen some stuff and aren’t scared to unpack it…work, family, mistakes, identity, parenting, addiction, love, ambition, you name it. These conversations are raw, honest, and sometimes a little messy. The best part is, you’ll recognize yourself in every story.

What does it really take to make it as a country music artist in Nashville in 2025?
In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter Maura Streppa, whose journey from small-town beginnings to the stages of Music City is anything but ordinary. She’s self-taught. She’s relentless. And she’s not holding back.
We talk about the reality of building a career in music today — the open mics, the letdowns, the side jobs, the algorithms, the endless self-promotion.
Maura opens up about what it’s like to write your trauma, sing to empty rooms, and still find the fire to keep showing up.
This is not just about talent. It’s about stamina, strategy, and the guts to keep going when nobody’s watching.
Whether you’re an aspiring artist, a music lover, or just curious about how the industry really works, this episode will pull back the curtain on the hustle behind the highlight reel.
