This might just be one of the funniest and most fun episodes we’ve ever recorded. A few months back, I was filming another pizza review in my home state of Connecticut when a guy named Tony unexpectedly jumped into the shot and shouted, “Get this girl a job!” That moment went viral—and the internet instantly fell in love with him.

Thanks to one of you, someone tracked him down and connected us. Now, he's officially a guest on the podcast! I’d call Tony a true Connecticut legend—and in this episode, we dive into everything from growing up in this underrated state to what makes the people here so real and unforgettable.

If you’re new here: I’m Alexa Curtis, a content creator and mental health advocate born and raised in Connecticut. From building my career as a teen entrepreneur to connecting with changemakers across the country, I’ve always believed there’s something incredibly special about this place—and this episode is proof.

Whether you're from Connecticut or just curious why it’s so close to my heart, you’re in for a ride. Let’s get into it.
