256: Kevin Jones – Living Out & Proud In The Corporate Closet

Being out and proud is one of the most freeing and liberating experiences an LGBTQ person can experience. It can also create anxiety on how out you can be in certain situations - like work! Could you lose your job, experience discrimination, or maybe just feel like you can't be fully yourself in the work place. Author Kevin Jones shares his own experiences and his new book - Opening The Corporate Closet: Transforming Biases to Gay Advancement in Corporate America. About Kevin A native Texan, Kevin graduated from Baylor University, then studied economics in France. He then began his career as a French translator for a major telecommunications company, which took him to London. There, he moved into a public affairs role, working closely with UK Members of Parliament. When he returned to Dallas, he began his career with Ernst & Young. As he progressed through the ranks, he discovered his passion for helping people do what they do best. Along the way, he earned his International Coaching Federation certification and holds the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential.

098: You’re never too old to be fully yourself – Colton Ford

098: You’re never too old to be fully yourself – Colton Ford

"I'm to old for that!" Really, then you must not have any adventure left in your life and your soul. How about instead, you said, "I'm never to old for that!" That attitude and outlook will make you stay as young as you choose to be, because it is all your mental outlook as to what you can and can't do, regardless of what age you are. Just ask musician and former adult film star, Colton Ford.“Figuring our way through challenges, hardships and difficult times is an integral part of life for most men, and where we can learn and grow the most on our journey through it.” Colton Ford acknowledges that the past several years have been challenging for him – debilitating, at times – but he has found inspiration through the process, reflected in his songwriting, as he is coming out to reclaim his direction for his life and his music - even as a 50+ year old guy! This is his inspiring podcast on never being to old to have adventure in your life.About ColtonHis debut single, “Stronger,” from his upcoming EP, “Unity,” was written by Ford along with his collaborative partners, Ron Schrader and Spin Sista, collectively known as Woop Woop Productions.Colton was also named in AfterElton.com's Top 50 Gay Male Musicians, he was featured in Cyndi Lauper’s video for her hit “Into The Nightlife,” and also performed on the Lauper-helmed 2008 True Colors Tour. He was the subject of the acclaimed 2003 documentary, “Naked Fame,” and has had cameos in the films “Another Gay Sequel” by Todd Stephens, and John Schlesinger’s “The Next Best Thing” starring Madonna and Rupert Everett. Glenn co-starred for three seasons playing Sheriff Trout on Here! TV’s “The Lair,” and was also a featured panelist on the channel’s resident chat fest, “Threesome.” He made his off-Broadway debut in 2012 co-starring in “Little House on the Ferry,” and also co-starred in Studio C’s Production of Howard David Rivers’ critically acclaimed play, “And All The Dead, Lie Down,” in Hollywood California, 2018.For the past seven years, Ford took a conscious step back from his public life, still releasing an album (“Glenn Soukesian” in 2016) and several singles during that time, but not pushing his work the way he had done previously. “I needed time to process the losses I was experiencing during this time, reflect and grow,” he says. “With regard to my work, these days I’m not compromising my vision, changing who I am artistically or doing music that doesn’t represent me. I’m doing what I feel is right for me first and foremost. I’ve grown very comfortable and confident trusting my creative voices without question or compromise. I’ve become Stronger.”Connect WithInstagramFacebookYou can also listen to the podcast on… <img...

097: Men, Intimacy, and Affection – Get Over It Already – Rick Clemons

097: Men, Intimacy, and Affection – Get Over It Already – Rick Clemons

You'd have to be hiding with your head in the sand to not hear all the crappy politics going on right now. And this podcast isn't about politics, until today. When a photo surfaced about Joe Biden affectionately sharing an intimate Father/Son moment surfaced on the internet causing some to cry "Creepy, Gross, Incest," I felt it was necessary to say, "Get over it and man up!" Men can show other men intimacy and affection and it doesn't mean there's something gross going on. It means there is love going on.So if you have a problem showing intimacy to another man, then you just might want to listen to this podcast. Of course, you probably won't because that's too gross, but I invite you to take a listen and drop yoru masculine bravado for just a moment!Hey Guys, Check This Out!Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?
