Adversity is often seen as a roadblock, but what if it's actually the key to unlocking resilience, creativity, and success? In this episode of The Space Between, Alyson sits down with De'Angelo Young, a filmmaker, author, and podcaster, whose journey from small-town Georgia to the streets of New York City is a testament to perseverance and the power of embracing challenges.

From arriving in New York with just $20 in his pocket to producing a TV series, writing screenplays, and publishing a book, De'Angelo shares how life's toughest moments shaped his path. Together, they explore how adversity isn't just something to overcome, it's something that fuels growth, creativity, confidence and self-discovery.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• How adversity can serve as motivation rather than a hindrance
• The role of resilience and adaptability in personal and creative success
• The impact of small victories in shaping long-term achievements
• How social media distorts our perception of success and self-worth

Key Takeaways:

• Challenges don't define you—how you respond to them does.
• Pressure creates diamonds; adversity is an opportunity to evolve.
• Small victories matter—celebrating progress fuels long-term resilience.
• Finding your "why" is the key to pushing forward in uncertain times.

Quotes from the Episode: "Adversity isn't the end of the road - it's the start of something greater." "Success isn't just about big wins; it's built on the small victories along the way."
