On this heartfelt episode of A Good Pour, we take a moment to celebrate D.J. Acevedo—a creative powerhouse, a cornerstone of our podcast, and a cherished member of the Good Circle Marketing team. D.J. is heading into a new chapter, returning to California with his family, and while we’ll miss him dearly, his story is a testament to faith, growth, and the power of good work.
Reflecting on a Journey of Growth
D.J. joined the Good Circle Marketing team with one goal: to help us elevate our storytelling through video. His expertise and passion transformed our podcast and our approach to content creation, including the launch of our 828 Plan, which makes high-quality video accessible to small businesses. Together, we found ways to create impactful narratives that resonate deeply with clients and audiences alike.
But D.J.’s time with us wasn’t just about the work—it was about the relationships. Whether he was collaborating with nonprofit leaders or supporting our team, his energy and insight left a lasting mark. He taught us the importance of leaning into stories, embracing the unexpected, and turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
Embracing Change with Faith
D.J.’s decision to move back to California wasn’t an easy one, but it was guided by faith and trust in the timing of life. His openness about the journey—overcoming obstacles, trusting God’s plan, and preparing for this next step—reminds us of the power of obedience and the beauty of seasons in life.
As he shared, this chapter is about bringing everything he’s learned here into a new space, from his passion for video to his therapeutic background. And while we’ll miss him behind the camera at Good Circle, we’re excited to see him flourish.
A Foundation for the Future
D.J. leaves us with more than just memories—he’s built a foundation for what’s next. From creating standard operating procedures to helping establish our new studio at The Station, his contributions have set us up for continued growth. We’re thrilled to welcome Josh Kurd, our new team member, to carry the torch and help us write the next chapter in our story.
Cheers to the Road Ahead
As D.J. heads west, we’re sending him off with gratitude and love. His impact on Good Circle Marketing, our clients, and our podcast is immeasurable, and we can’t wait to cheer him on from afar.
Thank you, D.J., for being part of this journey with us. Your legacy will continue to shine through every story we tell.
