Get ready for some REAL conversation! This week we're sitting down with the fabulous Jeremy A. Teel—a true community staple and one of the first people our host met when moving to Austin. Jeremy's a powerhouse in the queer scene, hosting legendary events like House of Soul and Chunk Party while championing the bears and fat boys community that often gets sidelined.

In this episode, we dive DEEP into:

• Jeremy's iconic "Oh Hey with Me Jeremy" car video series that started it all
• The leather and kink world—who knew Jeremy was a full gear enthusiast?
• The messy TRUTH about corporate pride (yes, we're talking about those rainbow Indeed logos)
• How to actually get involved in Pride planning and stay on boards to keep organizations accountable
• Plugging Jeremy's incredible events: House of Soul (Houston & Austin) and Chunk Party
• Why community is everything and how one person CAN make a difference

Jeremy shares real, unfiltered wisdom about hosting parties, building community, and never waiting around for someone else to create the space you need. He's the host you want at every event and the friend you need in the LGBTQ+ community.
