They chat about how they met, her experience breaking into the music industry, and what it was like growing up with 8 siblings (and being on Oprah). Shannon asks Sophia about her career evolution, from being a fresh face in Nashville to managing high-profile clients like Luke and Nicole Combs and The Band Perry. Sophia opens up about a personal tumultuous relationship, the importance of leaning on faith and family, and how she overcame the experience.
