PP 192: Maddie Poppe on Overcoming Failure, Doubt, & Haters


 

The homie Winston Churchill stated, “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”

Today’s guest could’ve quit, and no one would’ve blamed her. Then again, she wouldn’t be able to bask in the spotlight that she lives in today.

I’m talking about my new friend and family of the podcast, Maddie Poppe. You may know her as American Idol’s Season 16’s winner.

Not only is she an insanely talented singer and performer, but she still carries that approachable, down-to-earth, small-town Iowa vibe that makes her a fan favorite.

In today’s episode, Maddie and I cover:

  • The lowlights and failures that led to American Idol.

  • Understanding that YES lives in the land of NO.

  • Sticking to your gut and trusting the process.

  • Dealing with haters and doubters.

  • Her upcoming tour dates, merch, and more.

If you’re ready to accept that location doesn’t matter and you can chase what you want on your own terms, then you’re going to dig this episode.
