Welcome back to season two of Flex This! I'm starting this season with an episode that mirrors the thousands of conversations throughout my life that sparked my passion to create Flex This. Over my 37 years on this planet, I have had the privilege to have met so many amazing humans and have conversations that helped me grow and expand as a person. Many times, I walked away wishing I wasn't the only person that listened to and witnessed the gift of the human across from me and the dialogue we just shared. There is power in our authenticity and when that authenticity continues to work and adapt and expand to the highest version of that truth, I believe that power transcends and connects us all.
In that spirit, I'm starting this season with an unedited conversation that, for me, displays that exact transcending power. As a disclaimer, this conversation with Gatsby has adult content that might not be suitable for children. Gatsby and I talk about what it was like for him growing up in Atlanta, we discuss putting ourselves in the shoes of someone we don't share the same beliefs with, and you will find a common theme of unpacking questions that reflect the duality of existing on this planet. For me, this conversation shows just how powerful our stories are and when we can hold space for one another with grace and curiosity, the beauty of connection that waits for us on the other side. Gatsby Coram is an actor and artist originally from Atlanta and his lived in California for the last 12 years. I hope this conversation impacts you as much as it did me.
