All with a twist of twin. Adrian and Andrew are filmmakers from Chicago, Illinois with more than ten years of experience in the industry.

#14: How to Be Your True Self in a World That Wants You to Perform (w/ Michael Lemus)

What if the validation you’ve been chasing is actually holding you back?

In this powerful episode of Twin Spin, we sit down with speaker, content creator, and entrepreneur Michael Lemus—a bisexual Latino leader and first-gen college graduate—who shares the lessons that helped him stop performing for approval and start living in alignment with his true self.

We talk about:

- Letting go of external validation (and why it’s harder than it sounds)

- How to finally listen to your inner voice

- Building confidence from within—not from likes or comments

- The healing power of vulnerability (especially for men of color)

- Reclaiming identity as a queer, first-gen creative

- Why therapy, spirituality, and storytelling are tools for transformation

Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, creative burnout, or just feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode is an open invitation to come home to who you really are.
