Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrew Childress Jr.
Hi Andrew, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
My journey into event planning commenced during my early years, working alongside a radio station and a dynamic group of individuals. Although it marked a significant success in my life, it often felt like I was a step ahead of the times. The invaluable skill sets I acquired during this phase continue to prove imperative to my current endeavors.
Fast forward several years, I found myself facing a series of challenges, searching for an outlet amidst the adversities. Coincidentally, my newfound interest in podcasts, particularly The Breakfast Club’s podcast releases, resonated deeply within me. Embracing my love for this evolving medium, I envisioned utilizing it as a platform to address crucial topics and provide practical assistance from a grassroots perspective.
Aware of the challenges ahead, my passion for this form of expression fueled my determination. I meticulously outlined a business plan, a guiding document that I continue to cherish, refine, and build upon. Despite the initial absence of the means to execute my plan, I persisted, confident that sustained effort would eventually nurture this vision. Along this journey, I encountered and overcame various obstacles, recognizing their integral role in personal growth.
Two years ago, I boldly launched my podcast and formalized it as my very own limited liability company (LLC). Although the initial response may have been modest, those early days held pivotal significance, reaffirming my unwavering dedication to this path. It marked the outset of building a lasting legacy and connecting with individuals on a profound, meaningful level. The need for such a platform in Dallas, TX, drove my pursuit further. Despite skepticism from those I confided in, my unshakable belief in my mission propelled me forward. I persisted, forging valuable connections with entities such as Celestial Beerworks, Hello Studios, Leah Frazier, and countless others, fostering a continual pattern of growth and development.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
This journey has been far from smooth, to say the least. Nurturing any grassroots idea demands unwavering perseverance—be it navigating through funding challenges, grappling with self-doubt, or contending with the skepticism of others. Scaling the initial concept, acquiring new skills, and rearranging the pieces to align with the overarching vision, each step has presented its own set of obstacles. Despite these hurdles, I have remained resolute unyielding in my pursuit.
The clarity of the vision has never been more pronounced, and I find myself serving as a faithful steward of this cause. Every aspect of this journey, from the triumphs to the setbacks, has been a source of profound fulfillment. I’ve learned to appreciate and embrace the entirety of the experience, recognizing that it’s the amalgamation of highs and lows that shapes the narrative of success.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
