We talk about what it means to walk away from the safe route, how Desmond stays motivated in the face of constant rejection, and the quiet practices that keep him sane.

Along the way, Desmond shares what inspires him, the mindset shifts that have carried him through, and yes - the rituals (and snacks) that keep him camera-ready.

It’s a conversation about creativity, persistence, and carving out a life that feels true to you.
