Cocktail Hour is a collection of episodes in which I interview seasoned vets of the NYC dating scene for a different perspective.

***

Joey Zauzig is influencer extraordinaire! He has the real NYC come up story, and he tells us all about it. From his first job at Vogue, being a promoter, his ultimatum from Tommy Hilfiger to being a real icon, Joey spills it all. He talks about all the trials, tribulations and toxicity he went through to get to finally finding his forever man. We also take some time to discuss how certain power structures (especially in the gay community) can be detrimental to young people. This is not an episode you'll want to miss.

Joey is a men's fashion, skincare, fitness, lifestyle influencer and an advocate for LGBTQ+. You can find him on ig and tiktok @joeyzauzig.
