Brandon O’Dell: Coming out at 12, leaving destructive behaviors behind, and embodying your values

Brandon talks about coming out at 12 years old in rural New Jersey. He shares his story of addiction and recovery, and mentions some incredible people who have helped shape him. We learn about one very lucky moment that set him on a path to California and the career he had dreamed of. And finally, Brandon shares a quote that is now lodged in our mind: “My values are bravery, courage, love, assertiveness, and integrity. If I can be the type of person that embodies those values, then I'll have a life well lived.” This is a public podcast, so it's only as good as the people who are willing to participate.
