Hey Gus, Thank you for watching!

The "numb" is called disassociation. He experienced so much so young that he learned to disassociate. However, he must've had people who cared (i.e., Abuela) because he some how never internalized the negative experiences in a way that created self-destructive behaviors; instead, he always looked for a way out. Amazing story of the human experience.

J Canela thank you for your insight and taking the time to watch our episode. Have a great weekend!

This obsession with being tough and not being “soft,” and all this of Carlos living vicariously through Devon, makes me sad. All the violence at home. So much mental health and trauma in all this story. Crazy that you are sitting there telling this story. That prayer you did long ago in the elevator didn’t go unheard. Stay strong. Your “calling” (as you say it) is to not repeat those mistakes of your parents, but to keep doing good- good for your family and good for yourself and good for others. 💪🏽

Damn... the story of his father hit deep. Very talented young man though. His work is incredible. Great stuff

Thanks for the upload and the insight into Devon Rodriguez's upbringing. It was great to hear about Jeremy Harper, Yanell, James Harrington, Malcolm, Kreg Franco, Carlos Rodriguez, and his grandmother's influence.

Wow. When he tells the story about his father who abandoned him Max really says "but imagine the position your father was in getting that phone call" are you kidding me?????? A grown made made 18 kids and left them to fend. Devon went through so much... and that's what you have to say?????? That is not okay.

Thank you Polly! Finally someone appreciates my humor. Appreciate you watching!

This guys life could be a documentary. So many crazy ups and downs. Seriously fascinating journey.

It's totally worth it to watch this vid all the way through...this young guy-Devon- is a marvelous *real* personality, nothing fake about him... he's a definite positive inspiration & role model for struggling young folks. He makes the word "influencer" actually meaningful in this instance. I wish him every good thing as he makes his way thru life.. Best to you Devon💥🔥🖐🏾🔥💥🙏🏾

This young guy is such an inspiration to so many people, young and old. All that stuff that he went through, made him the strong person that he is today! Great story! Much success to this Salvador Dalí, Jr. 👏🏽

he shows that he chose to be strong and to get out of hell and become something instead of sitting on his sorry ass and complain for the rest of his life and blame everyone for his misery as a child.......

I’m so proud of you and your beautiful paintings I remember seeing your grandma at church nice quiet Lady ❤

He has all followers because first of all he is such a true human being...phenomenal artist...sweet...kind..and has the CUTEST laugh ever!!!!! All goodness comes to good people..and you deserve all of it!!!!!

A “soft” person could never have found the courage to find their dad and pursue a relationship with him as you had done. I’m sorry to hear he told you that and that you continually had to do things in his presence to prove him wrong. You have endured more than most could bear and come through to the other side to become a gift to all. If that’s not the definition of a tough thriver and survivor, I don’t know what is. Dearest Devon, let your bright light continue to shine and bless us all.

I just want to give you a hug. 💗

Inspirational... God bless him always.

I relate to alot of this on a personal level.. But im not there yet. Hopefully my time comes. Thank u for being such an inspiration Devon.

This Kids super random acts of kindness Is a testament to his talent and his Soul. I'm a huge fan.

Devon is so a humble young man

This interview has been the most moving and inspiring thing I have watched in all of 2020 or probably ever. And I just have to add that there’s definitely magic everywhere and in everyone some people just don’t try hard enough to find it.🤍

Thank you so much for your kind words and support!

This interviewer is condescending as hell. Bad vibes from this guy. Im glad Devon did a good job at not answering the weird passive aggressive questions and told us his own story.

God is using Devon to convey a message and bless others. Devon doesn't know he's gifted, (by God) , and not by luck!

A heart that beats is a heart that bleeds. Great interview. I'm so excited to show Norah, our oldest, aspiring artist.

30:15 ***Assimilating to the environment***

You left your mother to live with a total stranger who never care about You

Came here for Devon not Mr. Whitey

Why do you keep trying to paint the “poor south Bronx kid making it” narrative?

*2:27:43** i thought of cyanide and happiness.*

I feel dumber for listening to this. Sad story, inspiring but DAMN coulda used some editing to sound more coherent.
