We’re looking forward to introducing you to Daidrien Johnson. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Daidrien , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What is a normal day like for you right now?
I wake up later than planned not crazy late but artist late. I scroll a bit on TikTok and instagram then start plotting what I need to create. Midday is my creative work block I’m either recording or editing a podcast for Day to Dai With Daidrien. Then its off the the studio for some fashion or photography work after that i’m brainstorming short form video ideas for Youtube, Instagram and TikTok after its off to the gym. At night I’m cleaning up content getting it ready to post
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi I”m Daidrien Johnson i’m a creative voice and storyteller who bridges culture, style and Conversation through DayToDaiWithDaidrien a podcast exploring modern life identity and human connection. I have a background in fashion, photography and content creation I like to blend storytelling with real world insight. to spark thought and authenticity
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
I’d say my worldview was shaped not by one dramatic event but a series of quiet realizations. That people often hide behind an image, that truth and perception rarely line up. That connection is more fragile than it looks. I can see how that makes sense because the world is driven by performance and appearance. Im just glad I caught on quick and stopped trying to fit in and started trying to understand
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, many times once you become a creator everything you put out because an extension of you. Your beliefs, and values your hard work so when get criticized and theres no likes or engagement it will begin to weigh on you and in those moments forges the ones who really want it and those who don’t.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
Confusing honesty with over sharing and building connection off performance. being real isn’t the same as dumping everything online. Realness is restraint the power of honesty is in the intention not exposure. Also people are preforming authenticity instead of living it they want the aesthetic of depth without the discomfort that comes with it.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Explaining myself, you will never get through to someone who is committed to misunderstanding you. The less you speak the more value your words have. Who ever doesn’t ask for your side of the story has already made up their mind.
