Voices in the Field: Power of Persistence with Donte Hewlett | EP123

from The Everyday Scholar

In this episode, APU’s Jim Reese and Brittany Jacobs sit down with Donte Hewlett, General Manager at Lucky Strike in Durham, North Carolina. Donte shares his unfiltered and deeply human story of rising through the ranks in the sports and food & beverage industries – from grinding in sales for MLB teams to running large-scale food and beverage operations across the country. With refreshing honesty, he discusses professional setbacks, navigating corporate politics, building meaningful relationships, and the importance of knowing your worth. Donte’s story is a powerful reminder that success rarely follows a straight line – and that resilience, integrity, and connection often matter more than titles.  Hosted on Acast.
