Andy Elliott shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Andy, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
I’m chasing being a better version of myself. Every day feels like a new chance to level up a little bit — whether that’s creatively, personally, or just how I handle the ups and downs that come with what I do. I’ve learned that growth doesn’t really come from big moments; it’s usually in the small stuff you keep doing when no one’s watching. If I ever stopped chasing that, I think things would start to feel too comfortable. I don’t ever want to hit cruise control. I’d rather keep finding new ways to challenge myself, push boundaries, and stay curious about what’s next.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Andy Elliott, a multimedia creator and storyteller based in Nashville. I’ve built my career around bringing athletes, entertainers, and everyday personalities into real and unfiltered conversations. Right now I’m focused on my rebranded show Same Time Next Week, a mix of podcast and vlog that blends authentic conversations with the creative process behind them. I’ve always been drawn to the moments that show who people really are, not just what they do. What makes my brand stand out is that everything I create feels personal and intentional. It’s built on curiosity, humor, and connection, and I’m always chasing those conversations where something genuine comes out.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who taught you the most about work?
The person who taught me the most about work is my mom. She’s a single mother who’s owned a small skincare business in Nashville for more than fifteen years, and I’ve watched her show up every single day no matter what life threw at her. She’s played both parenting roles in my life, and seeing her grind with no excuses set the tone for how I approach everything I do.
Because of that, I had to grow up a little quicker than most. It hasn’t always been easy, and I’ve failed a lot more than I’ve succeeded. I’ve made my own mistakes, some with real consequences, but that’s where most of my growth has come from. To evolve as a person, you have to go through trial and error, and I’m grateful for that process. It’s what’s shaped me into who I am today.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one kind thing to my younger self, it would be to stop being so hard on yourself. I used to overthink everything and let small setbacks feel way bigger than they were. I’d tell myself that discipline is what truly builds growth — it’s what turns goals into habits and moments into momentum. Staying consistent when no one’s watching is what eventually opens doors.
I’d also remind myself that being prepared for uncomfortable moments always pays off. The best things in life usually happen on the other side of being nervous or uncertain, and those experiences teach you who you really are. And more than anything, I’d tell myself to keep building a relationship with God. None of this would be possible without Him guiding me through every high and low.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
A belief I’m committed to, no matter how long it takes, is staying true to the way I treat others and myself. I really believe that how you carry yourself and how you treat people says everything about your character.
At the same time, I’ve learned that the way you treat yourself matters just as much. Showing yourself patience, discipline, and grace keeps you grounded. It’s something I’m always working on — finding that balance between holding myself accountable and giving myself room to grow. That mindset is something I’ll never stop committing to.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What will you regret not doing?
What I’d regret most is not going all in on my ideas. I’ve learned that the worst thing you can do is hold back out of fear or wait for the perfect moment that never really comes. I’d regret not taking the shot, not building something that truly reflects who I am, and not using the gifts God gave me to their full potential.
I want to look back one day and know that I gave everything I had — creatively, personally, and spiritually. I’d regret letting comfort win over curiosity or passion. Life moves fast, and I don’t ever want to wonder “what if.” I’d rather fail chasing something I believe in than play it safe and never know what could’ve been.
