Blair Amanda joins Lish Speaks to talk about faith and purpose, building community in Los Angeles, and creating A Few More Friends—a live music platform for independent artists.

She moved to LA with no friends, family, or connections. What started as backyard music nights became a business built around a simple idea: “Followers watch. Friends show up.” But the move also led her back to a personal relationship with God.

In this episode of I'll Just Let Myself In, we get into the real work of building a business while working a full-time job, choosing the right people for your team, and setting boundaries around your vision. Blair also opens up about growing up as a preacher's kid, people-pleasing, and learning that she doesn't have to perform for everyone's approval.

We talk about:
• Supporting independent artists and building genuine community
• Making music that reflects your faith outside the gospel genre
• Trusting God's plan when your purpose takes an unexpected shape
• On The Spot, where artists write songs live with the audience
• Christian dating, singleness, and building a stronger foundation
• Enjoying your life now while being honest about what you want next

If you're a creative entrepreneur, an independent artist, or figuring out faith and purpose in your 20s, there's something here for you.
