You The Birthday! | Alvin Parker

Episode Eight — “You the Birthday” | Alvin ParkerThis one is a little different.For Episode Eight, I sit down with my twin brother, Alvin Parker, for a conversation that feels exactly like you’d expect when two brothers who have known each other their entire lives get in front of microphones.There’s plenty of laughter, stories, and the natural back-and-forth between us—but we also get into some things we’ve rarely, if ever, discussed with each other.We talk about the decision I made to leave home and join the Navy, and what that decision looked like from the brother who stayed behind. Alvin opens up about fatherhood, his children, his path into public service, and what it meant to be selected to serve as a city councilman.And somewhere in between all of that, we talk family, growing up, choices, memories, and the different directions life took two people who started from the exact same place.No formal interview. No trying to manufacture a moment.Just two brothers—twins—in their natural element, having a conversation that probably should have happened a long time ago.Episode Eight: “You the Birthday” — Alvin ParkerConversations worth sitting down for.
