From actor to producer, this 13-year journey to success is filled with lessons, grit, and game-changing insights. Join me, Lydia Nicole, as I sit down with Juming Delmas, a former actor turned producer, content creator, and founder of Juming Delmas Studios.

But what happens when you achieve the dream? How do you move forward? This episode is packed with actionable advice on building resilience, balancing creativity with business ownership, and staying authentic in your craft.
