About this listen

No espresso yet. Three episodes in. Still going.

NOT Episode THREE is a dare — to the listener and to himself. If this isn't for you, turn it off. No hard feelings. And if it is? Welcome.

This one gets into something real: what it actually feels like to exist unapologetically, without code-switching, without performing, without shrinking into whatever shape someone else needs you to be. Plus — Derrick issues himself a challenge: record all the way to NOT Episode TEN without listening back to a single one.

In this not-episode:

  • The freedom of truly not caring if you turn it off
  • What "unapologetically me" actually feels like as a lived experience
  • The unglamorous, normal, sometimes boring parts of life — and the beauty inside them
  • Why he's committing to zero editing, zero listening back, zero second-guessing

Raw. Unfiltered. Created and released — just to see what happens.
