Meet Deryn, who shares his journey from employee to freelancer to founding Grit Pictures Ltd., one of Yorkshire's lesser-known yet more formidable production companies. 

Grit is built on four pillars: Built Reet, Heart & Soul, Talk Straight, and Don’t Flap—reflecting Deryn’s approach to life and success.

At 13, Deryn was told to go into retail—he’s glad he didn’t listen to that advice! He turned his childhood passion into a career where he now gets “paid to play.”

We cover:

👉 Going from solo freelancer to building a team

👉 Feeling like a lone wolf creative

👉 Finding your niche and leaning into vulnerability

👉 Only working with those who make you feel stupid

👉 The power of a clear vision

👉 Family influence and what money means to Deryn

👉 Creativity as both a gift and a curse

👉 Balancing business with being on the tools
