This week I sit down with Demmy Ladipo, a British actor known for his roles in "Dreaming Whilst Black," and the Netflix film "The Kitchen”. In this episode we talk about:

• Demmy’s journey, including his decision to drop out of university to pursue acting, highlights the importance of self-belief and confidence, especially for those who don't follow traditional career or training paths.
• Overcoming rejection and managing the emotional and financial challenges of auditioning.
• Strategies for handling the pressure and uncertainty inherent in a career in TV and film.
• Why he stopped creating Instagram skits and whether he plans to return to them in the future.
• Acting practices, the differences between theatre and film, and how to stand out in a competitive industry.
• How the entertainment industry can better showcase diverse stories.
• The responsibility of successful individuals to create opportunities for the next generation.
• + so much more
