What if becoming yourself meant risking the one thing you loved most?

In this episode of Misfits Among Us, Joey sits down with Dylan Holloway — singer-songwriter, storyteller, former X Factor artist, and the artist behind Dylan And The Moon — for a powerful conversation about identity, music, transition, family, fear, joy, and the courage to live authentically. Dylan grew up knowing he was different long before he had the words to explain it. Music became his access point to joy, his hiding place, and eventually, his way back to himself.

After appearing on The X Factor and building momentum as an artist, Dylan reached a moment where everything changed. To become the person he knew he was, he had to risk the one thing that had carried him through life: his voice. That journey became Tomorrow’s Too Late — a deeply personal story about transition, music, self-acceptance, and the terrifying beauty of choosing yourself before it’s too late.

This conversation follows Dylan from childhood in Cornwall, to X Factor, to the COVID lockdown that forced him to slow down and listen to himself, to coming out to his family, to recording music that allows him to duet with his past self.

It is a story about being trans.

It is also a story about something every person understands: the cost of hiding from yourself, and the freedom that comes when you finally stop.

No scripts. Real people. You don’t have to agree. You just have to listen.

Because the misfits aren’t rare. They’re among us.

Most of us spend our lives learning how to achieve.

We learn how to perform, compete, lead, build careers, raise families, and push through adversity. What we rarely learn is how to navigate loss.

In this episode of Misfits Among Us, I sit down with Dina Bell-Laroche, certified thanatologist, speaker, facilitator, and advocate for grief literacy, to explore one of the most universal—and least understood—parts of being human.

After losing her younger sister Tracy to a rare form of cancer, Dina began a journey that would ultimately reshape her understanding of grief, belonging, leadership, and resilience. What followed wasn’t just a personal healing journey. It became a mission to help individuals, organizations, athletes, and leaders better understand how loss impacts every aspect of our lives.

Together, we discuss why grief isn’t something we “get over,” how loss extends far beyond death, the hidden cost of pretending we’re fine, and why belonging may be one of the most powerful tools we have for healing.

This is a conversation about grief.

But it’s also a conversation about love, connection, identity, leadership, and what it means to be fully human.

When the Table Moves Without You | Ageism, Corporate Culture & Reinventing Yourself and realizing The Quiet Exit of an Entire Generation. For decades, Cassell Kaye did everything right. She built a successful career inside some of the world’s most recognizable companies, including Yahoo, Disney Interactive, Amazon, and Live Nation. She climbed the ladder, delivered results, led teams, and played by the rules.

Then something changed. Not overnight. Not with a dramatic firing or public fallout. Instead, it happened quietly—the way it happens to thousands of professionals every year. Conversations shifted. Opportunities disappeared. Influence faded. And for the first time, Cassell found herself asking a question many experienced professionals are beginning to face. What happens when the system decides you’re no longer a fit? In this episode of Misfits Among Us, Joey Marcus sits down with Cassell to explore the realities of ageism, gender bias, corporate identity, reinvention, and what it means to reclaim your life after decades of defining yourself through work. This is not just a conversation about careers.

It’s a conversation about identity, purpose, and what happens when the life you built no longer feels like your own.

If you’ve ever questioned your place in the workplace, wondered what comes next, or felt like the rules changed without warning, this episode is for you.
