Familyyyy… this one meant something to me.

I’ve known Jacob Latimore since he was a little kid back in Milwaukee, brilliant, focused, and you could just tell the promise was on him. Now he’s 29, starring on The Chi, dropping music, building legacy, and still staying grounded in his faith and his family.

In this conversation we talk about:

• Growing up fast and staying protected

• What it meant for his mom to step out on faith

• The tension between career, marriage, and purpose

• Handling rejection and hearing “no” over and over

• The realities of fame, boundaries, and staying spiritually anchored

• Why mentorship matters, especially when your home story looks “different”

If you’ve ever felt pressure to have it all figured out… or you’re trying to stay encouraged while life keeps testing you… this episode is for you.
