In this episode of Living Not So Fabulously, John and David speak with David Collins, the creator of the "Queer Eye" series, about the origins of the show, its explosive success and the unexpected financial difficulties that followed. David's willingness to risk it all on his creative vision is still paying dividends today, and its influence is still strongly felt in the landscape of modern reality television. He shares his advice for navigating financial turmoil, believing in yourself, and supporting one another in the queer community.
