DeStorm Power

This week on Let’s Try This Again, I’m your host B Simone, and I’m joined by the legendary content creator and entrepreneur DeStorm Power. We get real about what it means to build something from the ground up, fight for your creative vision, and keep going even when the world doesn’t see the work behind the scenes. DeStorm opens up about his journey from singing in Baltimore R&B groups and running track, to becoming one of the first viral internet stars—before “influencer” was even a word. We dive deep into the story behind Zeus Network, how it started as a dream among friends, and the heartbreak of being cut out of something you helped build. DeStorm shares how he and his crew—including King Bach and others—put in the groundwork, brought in their communities, and launched shows that kept the lights on at Zeus, only to later feel sidelined and unrecognized. Hearing DeStorm talk about spending years and even a million dollars fighting for what he deserved was both sobering and motivating. It reminded me that sometimes, the people who help you build are the ones who get left out when the spotlight comes. We also talk about mental health—especially for men—and how important it is to ask for help, open up, and take care of yourself even while you’re hustling. DeStorm's honesty about the emotional toll of being “muted” and misunderstood hit home for me, and I know so many of you will relate to the pressure of having to smile and show up, even when you’re carrying so much behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unappreciated, or just needed a reminder that your story matters, this episode is for you. Tune in for laughter, real talk, and a powerful look at resilience, creativity, and the courage to keep trying—no matter what. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Jason Stuart talks the ups and downs of his career, writing his book, and a few audition stories that will make your jaw drop! About Jason: When you think one of the most prolific character actors, who’s also an outrageous openly gay stand-up comedian, one name comes to mind…. Jason Stuart. Stuart has been asking this question for the last few years. When you break the ground do you get to walk on it? After years of steady work in film & television and on stage, with over 250 credits on his IMDB page, Jason Stuart has achieved a pinnacle of success. “For the last few years, people have started to approach me and say ‘you’re that guy,’” he explains with his characteristic gravelly laugh. Stuart is the co-star, co-writer and co-producer of the hit Amazon comedy series “Smothered" along with Mitch Hara. The outrageous series tells the tale of a longtime hateful gay Jewish couple who cannot stand each other... BUT can’t afford to get divorced. He also just completed an episode of "Goliath" starring Billy Bob Thornton opposite J.K. Simmons on Amazon. Currently he is featured in the thriller "Immortal" opposite Samm Levine, starring Dylan Baker, Tony Todd and Robin Barlett. As “Joe”, a private detective who deals with spy equipment, available now on demand. Next up, he plays a Polish immigrant in the dark comedy “Tribes" starring & produced by Jake Hunter that had its premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and Cann Film Festival. From filmmaker Nino Aldi also starring Jake Hunter, Adam Waheed and DeStorm Power. He has wowed TV audiences with guest roles on such shows as Swedish Dicks (Keanu Reeves), Love (Judd Apatow), Sleepy Hollow, Real Rob, Entourage, The Closer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, House, Everybody Hates Chris, George Lopez, Will & Grace, Charmed and as “Dr. Thomas" on My Wife and Kids. Stuart has nabbed the title role in Hongyu “Neo” Li’s sophomore film “Hank" now on REVRY. Stuart has received rave reviews and the film has received several award nominations and wins. Li approached Stuart with the part of Hank after watching his performances in the Sundance hits “Tangerine" as “Joey the doorman”, the comedy made on iPhone and the historical drama, "The Birth Of A Nation" — the latter Stuart’s breakthrough performance as a southern plantation owner. His autobiography "Shut Up, I’m Talking!" has been getting great reviews on Amazon from CCB Publishing. It’s the funny, poignant story of a gay Jewish boy whose life changed after seeing "Funny Girl" at a second-run movie theatre in Hollywood. “I thought to myself, I’m in love with Omar Sharif – who am I left to be but Barbra Streisand! And I’m a guy... Oy!” It’s about surviving a crazy family who survived the Holocaust and clearing up the wreckage of one’s past while learning how to become a man. As is his new stand up comedy Album “I’m The Daddy And I Have Candy”. His work as an activist has always been a big part of his life. He has stated that “when you go up in the elevator of success, take people with you”. With that said, Stuart is currently the National Co-Chair of the SAG AFTRA LGBT Committee. He was honored with the Jose Julio Sarria International Civil Rights Award , which was presented by the International Imperial Court System and The Persist Award for his work with the union. He also chaired the comedy shows for Lifeworks Mentoring Program for 6 years and he continues to mentor both straight and LGBTQ artists.
