Shownotes

Andie Summers, the legendary morning host at 92.5 XTU in Philadelphia, has been on the air for more than 20 years. The love of her listeners and the admiration of the entire country music community have earned her numerous awards, including Best Major Market Personality from the ACM and CMA. But Andie's achievements don't end there. She's a woman with a heart of gold and a dedication to service. Her volunteer work for organizations like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the American Red Cross, and Wings for Success is truly inspiring.

In this episode, Andie shares the secret to how she balances being a wife, mom, and morning show host while still giving so generously of her time and resources. Her hardworking parents instilled in her the importance of keeping her head down and doing the work, making herself indispensable. The biggest lesson Andie has learned is to stay true to herself, no matter what market changes, program director changes, or morning show partner changes come her way.

Andie is a leader in the truest sense of the word. She's genuine, hardworking, and dedicated to making a positive impact on others. She's a shining example of what it means to be a true leader. Let's all learn from her example and strive to make the world a better place in our own unique way.
