The legend- As seen in the 1991 60mins segment "Susanne Logan's Story". Despite the repeated identity thief, trickery, and not inviting me to my father's funeral, she taught me the invaluable lesson on the power of perception and presentation.

Episode two of PEAR NAKED TRUTH is dedicated to Norman Pears — my father, the original Pear, and the man whose presence still shapes my life in ways I’m always discovering. I’m talking about who he was, what he taught me, how his legacy continues to move through me, and why this podcast could never really begin without honoring the OG Pear. RIP, Dad.

Welcome to episode one of PEAR NAKED TRUTH: the start of my new podcast series where I share tips, tricks, and life advice as a gay, autistic black man who has struggled in every stage of life.
