On this week’s episode, I sit down with my friend Cory Kilgore, whom I lovingly (and jokingly) call my dad. We’ve known each other for more than a decade, long past our days working in the same office, and he remains one of the calmest and kindest people in my life. Cory contains multitudes: he’s an Army veteran, a devoted volunteer, a member of a motorcycle club, and a man who somehow carries both grit and gentleness without contradiction.

For this conversation, he gives me full permission to ask anything I want… and I do. We talk about his time in the military, the difference between a bruised heart and a bruised ego, and even settle the very important matter of the best candy on Earth. It’s candid, generous, and funny—just like Cory.
