Art, Life and Laughs with Daryl Hembrough
In today's episode, I talk to the remarkable Daryl Hembrough. Daryl shares his earliest memories of living with the rare genetic condition Pfeiffer Syndrome and how by the age of 11 he had undergone an estimated 250 surgeries. We talk about exclusion, institutions, and what the future holds, and we discuss the importance of art and comedy.
Please join me as we look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Until the age of 18 Daryl spent 99% of his life either in the hospital or attending outpatient appointments.
- As a child, when you are labelled e.g., the naughty one, you tend to behave in that way.
- Living with a serious medical condition makes many kids incredibly determined and strong. Often, they overachieve and do remarkable things.
- Being on stage is a great way to engage with others, it is good for both parties.
- Having a serious medical condition is just a part of who you are. It does not define you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘People don't really see people; they see the condition that somebody has and then label that person. ´
‘Being on the caring side of it. Like my parents were, the doctors and nurses were a hell of a lot harder than being the patient.’
‘It (storytelling) helps me to remember stuff… it's therapy.’
‘Whatever happens to us we're still kind of the spirit of who we are, as opposed to anything that is physical.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
'I was born with a rare condition called Pfeiffer Syndrome and I've had many other conditions over the years. I model, I act, and I do other things.'

PODCAST DESCRIPTION
This is a podcast series about discovery, understanding, revelation, and stories.
How we perceive the world is rooted in everything that has influenced us throughout our lives, emotionally and psychologically. We become the sum of our parts and each of us has our own unique view of the world. 'Vision' truly is an act of interpretation.
In this podcast series through fascinating conversations, I set about trying to understand how we form our perceptions, view different perspectives, and examine how perception has influenced, inspired, or hindered the lives of each of my unique guests.
