Grown Up
The Grown Up podcast originally began as a personal journey to explore and comprehend the ups and downs of adulthood. It has since evolved into something bigger than imagined. Over the past four years, the host of the Grown Up podcast, Derric, has dedicated himself to championing individuals pursuing careers many may have heard of but few have followed with a deep passion. From life coaches to young black professors to travel agents, Grown Up is committed to fostering a supportive community for the "average" yet exceptional individuals who can balance the 9-5 grind with their independent passions. Tune in monthly to meet new trailblazers making their mark in their respective fields! Along the way, Derric also provides an eclectic playlist featuring independent musicians from all over the world. Join Derric on his journey to show love, support, and community for independents!
