In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Chad Hinton, who I lovingly refer to as my big sister. Chad has always been a compass for me, especially when it comes to figuring out the kind of friend, gay man, and human I want to be. He’s confident, hilarious, and carries his heart on his sleeve. We talk about his southern roots (yes, including the time he helped birth a cow), the hilarious fallout from giving himself a fake name, and some tender stuff, too—diving into conversations about grief, vulnerability, and what it really means to open up to the people who love you.

This episode is full of laughter, insight, and warmth. I’m so honored to share this conversation with someone who’s shaped me more than he knows.
