The Climb - The Personal Legend Story of Maddye Trew and Jeff McMahon - Episode 114
Episode 114
Welcome back to *Makes Sense with Dr. JC Podcast. Where confusion dies and Progress thrives.
Today, we’re making sense of the climb, the personal legend story of Maddye Trew. This is not a story of just her climb up the charts, but the climb every dreamer faces on the way to building their personal legend story.
My two very special guests are Miss Maddye Trew and Jeff McMahon.
Maddye Trew is an up-and-coming country recording artist whose latest single, “Single of the Year,” is quickly climbing the Country Breakout Chart. In this song, Maddye vulnerably shares her struggle with being single, and ironically, it’s her singleness that’s pushing her toward success on the very charts she’s climbing. Born in Memphis, Maddye has already performed on American Idol, appeared on CMT, taken the stage at The Bluebird Café, and opened for Big & Rich. Now she’s preparing to release her debut EP, Here Goes Nothin’.
Alongside her is her Alchemist, guide, and mentor, Jeff McMahon, a musician and industry veteran who spent 18 years touring with Tim McGraw, performed on six Billboard #1 singles, and was nominated for ACM Musician of the Year. Today, Jeff isn’t just playing keys; he’s guiding rising talent like Maddye, helping her navigate the unpredictable climb of the music business.
I first met them in Chicago, at a personal growth and creative self-mastery event that I am affiliated with. At first glance, when I heard Maddy’s beautiful voice and acoustic guitar strumming, alongside McMahon on the keys, I knew I was in for an outstanding musical performance.
But what unfolded for the audience was something unexpected by everyone, including Maddye and Jeff. Let’s say that the keys on Jeff’s piano were not the only ones we experienced. Their story, coupled with their beautiful sounds and songs, began laying the foundation for an epic journey of personal growth, unlocking life lessons that opened doors to some of the most common struggles we face in this fast-paced, overstimulated world full of confusion and concern.
Together, their story mirrors the timeless journey of the main character, Santiago, in Paulo Coelho’s timeless book, The Alchemist, where he is a young seeker guided by a wise mentor on the path to his destiny. It’s a story about commitment, perseverance, mentorship, vulnerability, belief in the process, and learning to see magic in the blind spots along the way.
This isn’t just a story about becoming a country star. It’s a story for anyone climbing their own mountain of success, learning to handle criticism with grace, to turn failure into fuel, and to recognize that sometimes, you’ve already arrived.
