You Don’t Need Permission: Dallas Dis0 World Founder Dylan | DCL #54
Manage episode 521785638 series 3472075
In this episode of DCL, I sit down in Dallas with my childhood friend Dylan, the designer behind Dis0 World. We get into why he launched the brand, building community over clout, and why there’s no blueprint for how you should live, create, or dress. We talk men’s mental health, the cost of trends, why “street money” can’t buy assets, and how to win your losses—from manufacturing delays to self-doubt.
If you’re starting a clothing line or any creative venture, this one’s for you: action over perfection, delegation, staying authentic, and falling in love with the journey.
