A 20-Year-Old Songwriter on Fear, Selling Yourself, and Knowing When to Be Quiet | Savanna Smith

Savanna Smith had a dream she was on a horse in a Western movie, running from her fear. When she woke up, she heard a guitar loop and turned that feeling into her new single "With Me," dropping August 18th on every platform.Savanna Smith is a 20-year-old songwriter and model who writes, produces, and performs her own music. In this episode of Conversations That Count, she sits down with David Shaft to talk about what it actually looks like to balance two creative careers, why she tells people she's a songwriter before she says model, and how a conversation with her grandma changed the way she thinks about ambition.Why priority management matters more than time management, and how Savanna decides which opportunities to take when everything feels urgentThe two sides every creative has to live with: the conqueror version that gets on stages and the quiet version that sits in the studio for 14 hours, and why you need both to build anything realWhat Savanna means when she says confidence culture has become a cult, and why admitting you feel stuck is the first step to actually getting unstuckConnect with Savanna: https://www.instagram.com/imsavannas/ | https://linktr.ee/savanna.com Listen to "With Me" and "Mamacita" by Savanna on Spotify, Apple Music, and everywhere music is found.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ConversationsThatCount-CTCNew episodes of Conversations That Count every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
