WHAT KEPT 2 LEGENDARY SONGWRITERS GOING
+ Co-Writing Tools That Change Everything
Do you find yourself asking this: "Okay, I understand the basics about the business side, co-writing, and a winning mindset... but how do I actually develop as a songwriter? How do I write songs that connect with people, get noticed, and last?"
These questions makes sense. Because you can learn all the technical stuff about publishers and co-writing and getting signed... but if your songs don't move people... none of that matters.
Here's what most aspiring songwriters don't realize:
Some of the biggest hits in country music history weren't written by people chasing trends. They WERE written by songwriters who learned how to tap into something deeper.
Shane McAnally has written/produced over 35 #1's from Kacey Musgraves to Sam Hunt to Old Dominion ... and Allen Shamblin has co-written somem of the most iconic songs of our time including "I Can't Make You Love Me" which has been covered over 500 times ... and both of these legends hit their own rock bottom, thought they may lose the careers they had worked so hard at, and made it through in remarkable journeys.
They started serving the songs instead of chasing the system.
When they made this shift, everything changed.
Now, I sat down recently with both of these legends for an hour each and listened intently as they shared mindset shifts and ideas that saved their careers. They were so open about how they've sustained their careers and weathered the rocky times in their careers. These are people who've written songs that have changed lives ... and probably changed yours!
I spent 25 years on Music Row - as a Publisher, in A&R, Co-heading ASCAP Nashville. I helped develop over 75 writers and created the ASCAP GPS Project that's still helping songwriters get signed today.
And I kept seeing the same pattern... The writers who made it understood how to build real relationships, trust their own creative instincts, and they just keep going when everyone else quit ...
They didn’t let the “Creative Spiral” kill their dream.
This is why I teach in my workshops that your unique story matters and finding your authentic voice is crucial to your “Creative Breakthrough”! It just might get darkest before the dawn.
This set of LP Creative Therapy Workshops are titled: The Legends Series becuase the following 2 songwriters are featured, are legends, and they embody everything I teach:
Shane McAnally - 50+ #1 hits, Multiple Grammy Award Winning Songwriter, worked with Kacey Musgraves, Sam Hunt, Old Dominion, Star of NBC’s "Songland"
Allen Shamblin - Iconic Hall-of-Fame Hit Songwriter - "I Can't Make You Love Me", "The House That Built Me" (CMA Song of the Year), "He Walked On Water"
Here's what you'll discover in these 3 workshops:
In LeAnn's session: "Why co-writing can change the world" - I’ll share with you my view from the stage, standing behind the most-performed country songwriter of the last 100 years, Mr. Craig Wiseman, (“Live Like You Were Dying”, “Believe”, “Summertime”) on the ASCAP Awards stage as he told the story of living in his van and stealing showers at the KOA campground. If Craig Wiseman started there... then imagine what’s possible for YOU. Wherever YOU are right now? You're exactly where you're supposed to be.

In Allen's session: Allen shares how having the courage to leap into the unknown, with a counter intuitive decision, was exactly what his family and his health needed. How walking away from his publishing deal (when everyone thought he was crazy) actually helped him build a more sustainable career while writing 75% fewer songs.
Plus tips like Shane's "Yes, And" co-writing technique, and Allen’s 3 life-changing tips directly to you for when fame and fortune hit.
Imagine being able to walk into any co-write with complete confidence, knowing you have tools from legends that serve the song and honors your co-writer.
Imagine other songwriters wanting to write with you because you bring something special to the room.
Imagine finally understanding how to write songs that matter and trusting your voice without burning yourself out in the process.
It's time for a B-12 shot of inspiration from LP & Friends!
Getting a session or even 30 minutes of Shane or Alan's time would be a miracle.
But what I can offer you is ...
3 complete workshops - My workshop whichs sets the stage, then an hour each of my interviews with Shane and Allen. Both interviews are so moving ... I definitely ended up in tears at the end of speaking with Allen and you will too. If sold separately, these would be worth $250 each minimum. That's $750.
But you're here right now, fresh off your purchase of Songwriters on the Rise, and I really want you to have these workshops so you can add all 3 for just $97.
That's less than 13% of the actual value.
And we have a rock-solid 30-day money-back guarantee. Watch all three workshops, get inspired and use the tools you learn. If you don't feel like this was worth 10X what you paid, just email me and I'll refund every penny.
You literally can't lose.

A note from LeAnn
After 25 years on Music Row, I've seen a lot of talented songwriters with great work ethic. But the ones who actually make it? They invest in themselves at the right moments.
This is one of those moments.
You can keep figuring it out on your own, or you can learn from two legends who almost quit before everything changed.
Shane and Allen made the choice to keep going, keep learning, keep the love for songwriting alive.
Your turn. - LeAnn

If you don't know LeAnn, you're missing out. Not only is she a beautiful human, she's beyond knowledgeable in the music industry. I've been in LeAnn's workshops for a while now and when you receive this kind of support, you keep going.

Being a part of LeAnn's workshops was a turning point for me. It came at a time where I didn't know what to do or how to move forward in my career. I'm so thankful for LeAnn!
