<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of &lt;em&gt;The Madhouse Podcast&lt;/em&gt;, we sit down with Daryl — a creative powerhouse who left the global advertising industry to chase a dream of building “cool stuff.” From feeling like he had no natural talent to becoming a world-renowned designer, Daryl’s journey is anything but ordinary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He shares how a decade as an Art Director/Creative Director around the world taught him both the brilliance and the frustration of the ad world — and why he ultimately walked away from it all. We explore how that decision led him to build &lt;strong&gt;Bandit9&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;VAN DARYL&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Deschain &amp;amp; Co.&lt;/strong&gt;, earning his work spots in the &lt;strong&gt;Petersen Automotive Museum&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Gallery of Modern Art&lt;/strong&gt;, and international acclaim in &lt;em&gt;GQ&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Top Gear&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Wired&lt;/em&gt;, and more.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But at the heart of it all? Family. Daryl opens up about the deep role his wife and son play in pushing him to dream bigger than he ever thought possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether you&amp;#39;re a creative stuck in a corporate loop or someone chasing their next big leap — this one’s for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To check out Daryl&amp;#39;s work: &lt;a href="https://www.vandaryl.com/"&gt;VAN DARYL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
