We had the good fortune of connecting with Danterious Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Danterious, can you share the most important lesson you’ve learned over the course of your career?
The most important lesson my career has taught me is to “know your worth”. Throughout my journey I have been put in situations where I let outsiders dictate how I felt about myself and my quality of work. I soon learned that I should invest more time Into fully understanding the value I bring to the table that way no one else can dictate it for me.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart as an creative is my unwavering determination to overcome adversity and transform my weaknesses into strengths. Throughout my journey, my main goal has been to become a pillar of support within my community and provide opportunities and mentorship to my younger siblings. I’ve stayed relentlessly focused on this mission, refusing to let closed doors and rejections deter me from reaching my aspirations.
However, reaching where I am today professionally was far from easy. I faced numerous challenges along the way, including battling depression and experiencing financial hardships that left me completely broke. Despite these obstacles, I relied on faith and prayer to rebuild myself, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before.
My brand, “Premiere 4WD Media Group,” is not just about showcasing talent, but it goes beyond that. It is about championing the underdogs, supporting and empowering creatives, and fostering a collaborative community where everyone can work together harmoniously, free from ill will or malicious intent.
Throughout my journey, I’ve learned some valuable lessons. I’ve realized the importance of perseverance, even in the face of adversity, as it is the key to achieving greatness. I’ve also come to understand the power of resilience and how every setback can be an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Above all, I’ve learned the significance of supporting others and building a strong network of like-minded individuals who can uplift each other to reach new heights collectively.
My story is a testament to the fact that success rarely comes without its fair share of struggles. It is through these trials and tribulations that I’ve found my true strength and purpose. I want the world to know that my journey has been one of resilience, empowerment, and community-building. My brand’s vision is to bring forward exceptional talent, and create a space where creatives can thrive together, making a positive impact on the world through their art and creativity.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
For a week-long trip to show my best friend the best time ever, I’d plan an exciting and diverse itinerary to explore the most fun, interesting, and exciting places in the area. Here’s what the week might look like:
Day 1: Arrival and Local Cuisine
Welcome my friend and take them to a local restaurant known for its authentic regional cuisine to get a taste of the local flavors.

Start the day with a visit to the iconic Battery Atlanta, a bustling entertainment district, where we can enjoy shopping, dining, and live music.
Attend an Atlanta Braves baseball game at Truist Park, experiencing the lively atmosphere of one of the city’s favorite pastimes.

Throughout the week, I would also take my best friend to some lesser-known local spots, such as cozy coffee shops, hidden gems, and community events, where we can connect with some of the most interesting and friendly people in the area. The goal would be to create lasting memories of a week filled with adventure, culture, good food, and the vibrant spirit of Atlanta.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to give a heartfelt shoutout to my parents, whose love and guidance shaped me into who I am today. I’m grateful for the experiences and skills gained from previous work endeavors that have led me to where I am now. And last but not least, my thanks to my supportive friends, whose unwavering encouragement continues to fuel my drive to achieve even greater heights in life.
