About Us
Who We Are
Wesley Dudley
The idea to start a podcast was born from two men with a vision that despite setbacks, it was possible to become the best version of themselves. My name is Wes Dudley, and I am the co-host of the Destined By Design Podcast. Together with my brother, C.C., we have begun a journey to help and motivate others to find that they too can excel in all areas of their lives. Through our openness, honesty, and transparency, it is our hope that we provide a platform for others to see our struggles and then be inspired to share their own life experiences with the world. My journey started in New Haven, Connecticut, where I learned quickly that tough times make tough people. The hardships that I endured at a young age ultimately propelled me into my destiny of helping at-risk youth overcome their own difficulties. Growing up without a positive role model in my life inspired me to pursue a career that gives me the opportunity to stand in the gap left open in so many young men and women. Each day I strive to fulfill the need of a consistent and compassionate adult committed to their success through support and encouragement so they may reach their full potential. We all have a past, and sometimes the hardest chapters are the most difficult to tell. Destined By Design is about communicating those stories to help others through their own challenges in life. At the beginning of each episode when you hear me exclaim, “they say we live!”, believe that every word spoken thereafter is done with an intent to reach those destined by design for greatness!

My name is C.C. Davis, and I am the co-host of Destined By Design; a podcast that aims to show everyone that change is not only possible, but attainable. No matter where you are from or where you are going, we are here to show you that you can build the life you want for yourself through necessary changes. This mission is personal to me because I have unfortunately made some life altering mistakes. In fact, I was stuck in an unhealthy cycle of letting my ego drive my decisions and as a result, I lost one of the most important things in my life. It took me hitting rock bottom to realize that I could not continue down the path I was on without leaving a trail of devastation behind me. During my journey of self-reflection, I made a conscious decision that it was time to grow into the best me possible. Once I dedicated my life to constant improvement and growth, I have never looked back. The process is one that is never finished, as we can always become better than we were the previous day. Through this podcast, I want to be a living example that there is light at the end of dark tunnels, and that you are in control of making your life what you want it to be. My biggest ally in this process has been a healthy mindset so I spend time in the gym working through my thoughts to discover the clear vision I desire for myself. Destined By Design is meant to bring to the surface and discuss those trials we usually fight in private. Everyone is fighting some type of battle, and if this podcast can reach one person, and help them realize their potential to change, then I have fulfilled my goal. Change is possible for everyone, and I hope to give some insight, motivation, and wisdom on how to move into a new phase of building a better version of you.
