Climbing the Charts sits down with Bob Freeman, a buzzed about 2023 Nashville mayoral candidate, the current Tennessee House Representative for District 56 and the Executive Vice President of Freeman Webb Co.  Bob shares his advice for young entrepreneurs with no capital or connections, his advice on how to stay motivated in Nashville real estate even in a tough market and shares his perspective that bipartisanship is the only way to properly serve the people of Tennessee.


Climbing the Charts with Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller is a conversation about the forces that shape our daily lives, from local policy to global scientific discovery.
