Today we’d like to introduce you to Shelby Williams
Hi Shelby, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey began nearly three years ago when the idea for my podcast first took shape. Whats Next Conversations was born from my natural curiosity and love for deep discussions—I’ve always been the type to ask questions, spark conversations, and seek out the next step in life. The name reflects my mindset of always planning for the future and looking for ways to grow and improve.
This passion for meaningful conversations and research led me to create a platform where people can share their stories, decisions, and wisdoms. But my desire to help others didn’t stop there. That same drive inspired me to launch my own social media agency, What’s Next Conversations Media. My agency is dedicated to helping businesses showcase their passion through social media, build authentic communities, and connect with the right audience in a meaningful way.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The journey, like anything in life, comes with its ups and downs—especially when pursuing something you’re truly passionate about. One of the biggest challenges I faced was self-doubt, questioning whether people would find my content engaging or relatable. At times, I even considered giving up, wondering if my efforts were worthwhile.
Another challenge was balancing it all—juggling school, work, and the commitment to producing content every other week while navigating life as a college student in my 20s, determined to chase my dreams.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Welcome to a space where stories, insights, and perspectives come together to inspire growth and meaningful conversations. Through What’s Next Conversations, I create a platform for open dialogue—where we explore self-growth, life transitions, and the journeys that shape who we are meant to be. Whether through my podcast or social media agency, my mission is to help individuals and businesses share their voices, build connections, and navigate what’s next with confidence. Let’s start the conversation!
My social media agency, launching soon, offers a range of services including social media management, content strategy, content creation, and event media.
What I’m most proud of is pursuing my passions and staying true to the person I’m becoming. My podcast and social media agency are both rooted in my love for storytelling, connection, and impact. What sets me apart is my ability to engage with people across different generations and backgrounds, while creating meaningful conversations that resonate. Above all, I do this because I genuinely want to help others—not just for the business, but because I believe in the power of community and authentic connection.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
One surprising thing about me? I’m still figuring out this journey we call life—because the truth is, nothing is ever as perfect as it seems while you’re building the foundation to become the best version of yourself.
If there’s one reminder I want to share, it’s this: never lose sight of your dreams, passions, and the life you truly want. The first step is deciding you want more for yourself. That’s what set me on this journey—realizing I was tired of living the same year on repeat without real growth or change.
Success isn’t just about reaching the destination; it’s about staying consistent, pushing through challenges, and learning to embrace the process. The real magic happens in the in-between—the moments of self-discovery, resilience, and transformation. So keep going, stay motivated, and trust that every step forward is bringing you closer to the life you’re meant to live.
