51. He Chose His Wife Over Music — and God Gave It Back, with Elliot Poston

Show Notes

Ep.51: Elliot Poston chose his wife over a music career… and years later, music found him anyway.

Elliot is a country singer out of South Carolina who spent nearly two decades leading worship at church before stepping into the spotlight as an independent artist. What started as a side gig playing local restaurants turned into two-to-four shows a week, opening slots for Diamond Rio and Sammy Kershaw, and a viral parking garage set at Carolina Country Music Festival. This conversation is one of the most grounded, faith-driven episodes we've had on this show.

In this conversation, we get into:

The moment Elliot walked away from auditioning for The Voice — and why he'd do it again
How leading worship and announcing pro wrestling both taught him to connect with a crowd
Why he believes perfectionism is the enemy of excellence
Losing two close friends and learning to grieve through songwriting
What legacy really means when you're building a family and a music career at the same time
