Exploring Nashville, Tennessee

I had the amazing opportunity of going to Nashville to attend Inc. Magazine’s annual GrowCo Conference.

A conference that was life changing.

The destination was just a perk. A perk that until, two weeks ago, didn’t seem like that much of a perk. I mean, it wasn’t Hawaii or Europe. It was just Nashville and I was just a girl that didn’t listen to country. Even if I’ve been known to do a mean June Carter when you hand me a microphone.

But after walking down Broadway, eating some of the best southern BBQ, and singing “Friends in Low Places” at the top of my lungs in a honky tonk bar – Nashville charmed the hell out of me.

Here are just a few of my favorite shots and some of the amazing Nashville eats from my trip.

    Even though I lived in Memphis for a bit, I never made it to Nashville. It looks amazing though!
