Work Real Hard to Get Lucky


Listen Later

People who live amongst NYC streets are my favorite people to interview.

No filter, nothing to hide, full of stories of survival, and often incredibly funny and charming. I have been trying, for years, to find a way to use my podcast for actual good and have been searching for a platform to take the work I want to do with the homeless community, and I had found one, in the Bowery Mission.

I had created a show, that I was going to personally fund, that was going to try to find five NYC homeless and get them the counseling and training they need to qualify for NYC free housing. Could I actually use the tools that are available in one of the richest cities in the world to affect someones life in a real way forever. 

But alas, my past caught up with me and despite telling them from the very beginning that I was a person with a colorful internet search history who had a penchant for felons, drug addicts, sex workers and niche communities...they decided after many moons of work together that who I was overshadowed the benefit I was trying to provide and they literally cut my legs out from under me in what was to this day one of the oddest and coldest reversals of favor I've experienced. I will always wonder what was the thing that they found that was so shocking that they could no longer let me try to raise money for them and their cause but whatever, I moved on. 

So, I'm going to do this on my own. Fuck it. If anyone can think of a great sponsor to help me on this quest, please email me at [email protected].

Either way, this is the first person I'm starting with, Lucky.

A beautiful man, who is dripping in charisma and style, and who is looking for a second chance at life. In his mid 20's with a wrist full of bracelets and a mouth full of smiles. 

Tune in to see how my quest to get Lucky back on his feet goes.
