In this episode of The Already Collective podcast, host Taylor Carlier welcomes a client of The Already Co and her friend Donte Chavers, who is the host of The New Standard Podcast, an actor, and a model. They discuss Donte's journey from a childhood steeped in fear of God to a transformative relationship with Him that took some twists and turns along the way. Donte shares his experiences of personal growth, the important role community has played in his life, and a divine encounter that changed his perspective on faith and God – an experience that shook him out of chasing other’s version of a dream life to living a true dream life of Godly fulfillment. The conversation emphasizes the significance of living on purpose and embracing one's journey, regardless of societal expectations.
