HI besties! We’re back this week and We’re SOOOO LA. This week Tana Talks with Justin Elliott! Our first out of town guest dropping in on the podcast today & Justin came bearing gifts… chicken wingggzz. From Publix. He might be an LA boi now, but those Florida roots run deep.   


Justin is a fresh face known for his jokester demeanor, Justin has been pursuing a life of comedy for 10 years. Born into family full of "characters" (so he calls them) , Justin quickly learned that his key to success would be his gift of laughter. He began to focus and channel his comedic passion at writing age performing at college campuses up & down the east coast.  Both a fan and apprentice of creative writing, Justin paints personal stories with topical humor that many can relate too.. Justin has opened up for numerous comedy heavyweights such as Mike Epps, DeRay Davis, & even Michael Blackson. Most recently he has been opening up for former MMA fighter now comedian Brendan Schaub on his Thiccc Boy Tour.

 You can catch Justin regularly as he hosts a podcast called "Think Before You Speak".  You can also catch him in various cities and Improv comedy clubs across the nation.    This week we talk all things Justin and his story, starting comedy, moving, getting connected, and touring. We talk the business side of show and why its called “show business”  We talk his journey in stand up and all things social media. We talk the positive and negative side effects it has had on his career. We talk social media as a job, getting hacked, and all the terrible feelings that come with.

 We talk J names being toxic and how Justin had never heard of this internet phenomena. Which leads to a discussion on relationships and how communication is key in relationships.. and just because we speak for a living to strangers doesn’t mean we are the best at communicating with the ones closest to us.   
We are so thankful he dropped in while he was In Atlanta Justin is determined and humbled you can find him in a city near you Justinuncut.com or on his weekly podcast “Think Before You Speak”  
Love you mean it besties :)
