Happy Endings at Shameless Acres kicks off with an inspiring and deeply personal conversation between Scott Pralinsky and Colin Brownlee, founder of Happy Endings at Shameless Acres (HEASA). In this premiere episode, Colin reflects on a life that defied convention — from his turbulent youth and struggles with addiction to his journey through the AIDS crisis, spiritual transformation, and eventual reinvention as an LGBTQ+ entrepreneur in Costa Rica. He shares how embracing vulnerability, self-discovery, and bold dreams led him to create a vibrant community for queer seniors. It’s a powerful story about resilience, reinvention, and building your third act on your own terms.
