Warning- This episode deals with incredible sensitive and hard topics, like abuse, rape, sex-trafficking and drug abuse. If these are potential triggers for you, please do what you need to do to take care of yourself and stop listening if things become too heavy.

My guest this week is more than a conqueror. It is amazing that she is alive. It is amazing that she still has her sanity in tact. Her life, from the time she was a little girl (5 years old), was filled with abuse and neglect and atrocities no child should ever experience.

Clemmie Greenlee is a survivor and she is a champion of humanity. She fights for the very lives of girls and women caught in the sex slave trade...she fights for the lives of young boys and girls on the streets in her community...and she is a safe haven for scores of mothers who have faced the most tragic of losses, the death of a child due to gang violence or police activity.

Clemmie is one of the most respected leaders in the Nashville community and her story and her work have impacted countless lives around our country. She is the Founder and CEO of Nashville Peacemakers and she is the proud leader of a group called Mothers over Murder. She is a woman I respect immensely and someone I am proud to call more than a friend....she is truly family.

Please take a listen to this special episode of the True West Podcast.

It all started with an idea to doing something differently....a true "True West" moment, if you will. At the age of 22, and young Lee Dunlap identified a major pain point in the event industry and he created his own path and his own future by solving that pain point.

What started out as a small event drapery rental and installation company, has grown into a major event industry conglomerate with scenic rentals, event and tent rentals and of course, more drapery that Elton John's bedroom.

Lee's heart for his family, his coworkers and his faith are at the forefront of this conversation. Listen today, as he shares his journey, all the ups and downs, with David Fischette on this episode of the True West Podcast.

Life is hard. It throws us curveballs often. But there are those of us that use those hard times to dig deep and discover their own True West path. For Christiev Alphin, going east to Nashville from Oregon after the collapse of her first marriage, was really a part of her true west journey and was the catalyst to living the beautiful life she has today.

It was in Nashville, that her career blossomed as a fashion stylist and creative director for many Country and Christian artists. And it is Nashville, that she met her soul mate, Big Kenny, half of the Country duo, Big & Rich.

Our conversation was candid, inspiring and needed a trail of breadcrumbs to get us back to where we started, but it sure was fun.

Check out this special conversation with Christiev Alphin today on the True West Podcast.
