He shares a bit of his own story—how his background in activism, journalism, and LGBTQ+ advocacy shaped who he is and why he cares so deeply about these issues. He talks about what sparked his passion for speaking up, and why he believes it’s more important than ever for all of us to engage in real, honest conversations about the world we’re living in. His goal is to create a space that’s both entertaining and meaningful, where we can all explore big ideas, share experiences, and connect in a way that feels fresh and genuine.
