In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with platinum-selling artist, songwriter, and producer Jake Scott—the heart-forward creative behind fan favorites like “Good Day” and the Russell Dickerson hit “She Likes It.”

From his Arkansas roots to signing a publishing deal with David Hodges, Jake shares the highs, lows, and lessons of building an independent career fueled by consistency, intention, and emotional connection.
