Joey and Parish take listeners back to where it all started — the origins of The HS Brotherhood. From a simple idea sparked during an HS advocacy project to a thriving community of men supporting one another through honesty, humor, and healing, the brothers reflect on how this space came to life.

They share the real story behind the vision — from Joey’s early dream of reaching men through barbershop talks to the creation of a safe, judgment-free community where men with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) can speak openly about pain, resilience, and growth.

This episode dives deep into:

• The birth of The Brotherhood and the passion behind its mission
• How advocacy and mentorship transformed both hosts’ lives
• Breaking the stigma around men’s health and vulnerability
• What it means to lead with heart, honesty, and brotherhood

It’s more than a conversation — it’s a look at how two advocates turned shared pain into purpose, creating a movement that’s helping men find strength in connection.
