Destiny Outreach

We stand next to each other, receiving our certificates and looking back at all the hours we spent together, it’s hard to believe how quickly this journey has gone by. What started as hours we simply had to complete turned into memories, friendships, inside jokes, countless laughs, and bonds that we know we will cherish for a lifetime. 🤍

Throughout this experience, we didn’t just show up and complete our hours — we created something meaningful together. We shared moments of excitement, challenges, laughter, and everything in between. Not only did we entertain all of you, but we entertained each other too. From the moments on stage to the moments behind the scenes, some of our favorite memories came from simply being together.

These certificates may represent the hours we completed, but they represent so much more to us. They represent the time we dedicated, the memories we made, the people we met, and the friendships we built along the way. Looking back, we realize that the best part of this experience wasn’t just reaching the finish line — it was everything and everyone we experienced along the way.

We’ll always be grateful for the laughs, the memories, the late moments, the unexpected moments, and most importantly, for each other. No matter where life takes us from here, this will always be a chapter we can look back on and remember with a smile. Here’s to the hours we completed, the memories we created, and the bonds that will last far beyond this moment.

Disney, Do Media Team, RGE, and Ascalon Films, we thank you for opening your doors and creating a safe space for us to grow, learn, and spread our wings. 🪽🎓💙

Through Destiny Outreach, Sam gained invaluable insight from seasoned industry professionals who are actively shaping the future of film and television. From hands-on camera training and technical education to learning the importance of presence, professionalism, and work ethic, every experience contributed to his growth as a creative and emerging industry leader.

As the rise of Midwest Hollywood creates new pathways for storytellers, Sam recognizes that self-direction, initiative, and a willingness to create opportunities are essential. Destiny Outreach helped him strengthen those qualities while providing the guidance, exposure, and confidence needed to navigate an industry with no single roadmap.

Equally impactful was the journey alongside his fellow apprentices. Through collaboration, shared experiences, and community, Sam regained a renewed sense of focus and clarity about his future, his career, and his purpose.

At Mirror Ball Recordings, mentorship has become a two-way exchange of knowledge, creativity, and growth.

Grammy-nominated DJ, producer, and remixer , alongside Grammy-nominated producer and mix engineer Eric Welton, welcomed Destiny Outreach apprentices Alexus Womack and Jaden Madison into their creative ecosystem. What began as an opportunity to mentor quickly evolved into a collaborative experience where both generations learned from one another.

Eric shared that one of the most valuable contributions Alexus and Jaden brought was their fresh perspective on content creation and digital marketing, offering insights into the ever-evolving landscape shaped by Gen Z. Terry echoed that sentiment, recalling how he learned new video editing techniques and graphic trends from the apprentices on their very first day.

Reflecting on his own journey, Terry emphasized that success accelerated when he surrounded himself with knowledgeable people who brought expertise in areas beyond his own. He recognizes the importance of building strong teams and believes Alexus and Jaden arrived with the skills, passion, and drive needed to make an immediate impact.

Both Terry and Eric expressed that a program like Destiny Outreach would have been transformative early in their careers, providing resources, opportunities, and access that could have accelerated their professional paths. Their commitment to Alexus and Jaden extends beyond the apprenticeship, as they remain invested in supporting their continued growth and success.

This partnership is a testament to the power of mentorship, collaboration, and creating pathways to destiny.

Apprentice Jaden Madison came into Destiny Outreach with a film school background, but the experience expanded his understanding of what it truly takes to succeed in the industry. Through the training, he learned the importance of building professional relationships, bringing value to every opportunity, and becoming an asset to any team he joins.

During his placement at Mirrorball, Jaden explored multiple roles across production, helping him discover both what he enjoys and what he ultimately wants to pursue professionally. The experience gave him clarity and confidence in his career path.

Jaden credits his mentor, Eric, for helping him embrace the learning process. Although some responsibilities were unfamiliar, Eric reminded him that his existing skills already brought value and that growth comes from being honest about where you are while remaining committed to improving. Through patience, guidance, and encouragement, Jaden learned to trust himself and his abilities.

As someone who once felt uncertain about pursuing a film career in the Midwest, Jaden now sees endless possibilities. At Mirrorball, he has found a space where he can combine his passion for music and film while gaining real-world industry experience.

One of the most impactful moments of the Destiny Outreach Dreams & Destiny apprenticeship program was participating in the one-day film set production.
“I learned a lot about myself doing that.”

The experience reinforced the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and respecting different perspectives. Today, Jaden says he is more confident, more content, and more certain than ever about where he is headed and the value he brings along the way.
