We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Devix Szell a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Devix , first a big thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights with us today. I’m sure many of our readers will benefit from your wisdom, and one of the areas where we think your insight might be most helpful is related to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is holding so many people back from reaching their true and highest potential and so we’d love to hear about your journey and how you overcame imposter syndrome.
I can’t afford to have it. There are a lot of even wealthy artists out there who become codependent upon security in their lives and they don’t wanna lose that. Those people are afraid to sacrifice everything in order to get the results their creativity could offer. I didn’t have those things and I sure as hell don’t have them now, so I don’t have the luxury of imposter syndrome. I only have myself. Oh, and a pretty solid band & crew.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
My passion is acting, my day job is directing / screenwriting and rock & roll is my lifestyle.
Watch out for The Killing Machines in 2025
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Problem solving. Either you know how to problem solve or you don’t. If not, find someone who does and you’ll solve your problem. There’s only so much one person can do.
As for newcomers, if you’re reading this you’re well beyond the top layers of content disguised as wannabe cult classics and pop star sex symbols, so go further. Dig deeper and when you’re uncomfortable, start there.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
Always open to collaborating, especially on the business side.
