Butt Seriously with Dr. Evan Goldstein

Welcome to Season 2 of Find Your Light with Adam MacLean  In today’s episode Adam interviews Dr. Evan Goldstein [https://drevangoldstein.com/], an anal surgeon and founder of the medical practice Bespoke Surgical [https://bespokesurgical.com/] and founder of the sexual wellness brand Future Method [https://futuremethod.com/].  His new book BUTT SERIOUSLY [https://www.buttseriously.com/] is a fabulous read for anyone with a butt. It’s got a little bit of personal memoir, and a whole lotta “how to” when it comes to navigating the ins and outs of anal health…and anal fun.  It’s not simply an episode for gay guys. BUTT SERIOUSLY has loads of helpful info for everyone and Dr. Goldstein brings his signature frank and refreshing candor to a subject that oftentimes has a lot of shame attached to it.  Adam & Dr. Goldstein shine a light on shame and have a few good laughs in the process.  Find Your Light is made by the coolest #peepadoodles: Our brand design is by @ladolceveta [https://www.instagram.com/ladolceveta/?hl=en] & @salonisoni [https://www.instagram.com/salonisoni/?hl=en] Our social media manager is @cacidoe [https://www.instagram.com/cacidoe/?hl=en] Our theme music composer and editor is @zachwachter [https://www.instagram.com/zachwachter/?hl=en] You can follow Adam @adammacattck [https://www.instagram.com/adammacattack/] & @postshame [https://www.instagram.com/postshame/]

Geolocating Truth with Zach Stafford

Welcome to Episode 7 of Find Your Light! Today our guest is super journalist, host and producer Zach Stafford [https://twitter.com/ZachStafford]. He’s currently a contributor at MSNBC [https://twitter.com/msnbc], former editor in chief of the Advocate and former Chief Content Officer at Grindr. We spend a good bit of time discussing the Grindr controversy [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/nov/29/grindr-apps-president-calls-marriage-holy-matrimony-between-man-and-woman] that Zach reported on that led to his eventual departure [https://www.thegayuk.com/grindr-has-effectively-closed-its-online-magazine-into/]. He’s currently a co-producer of the Pulitzer prize winning and Tony-nominated Broadway musical A STRANGE LOOP [https://strangeloopmusical.com/] (with 11 nominations, the most of any musical this year!). If you have a chance to see the show in New York City - run, don’t walk! It’s spectacular. In Act Two we discuss the false start of Alexi McCammond [https://twitter.com/alexi] as EIC of Teen Vogue [https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/18/business/media/teen-vogue-editor-alexi-mccammond.html] after tweets that she already apologized for resurfaced. She attempted to be #PostShame but CondeNast failed her [https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/teen-vogue-conde-nast-wintour-mccammond/2021/04/03/dafd2804-9104-11eb-a74e-1f4cf89fd948_story.html] when they didn’t properly prepare for the issue to come up again. Throughout the conversation we talk a lot about Zach’s commitment to transparency and one of the things he said that really stood out for me was his insight that #PostShame stories “are like water erosion on rocks. Every wave makes a kind of imprint.” One story at a time. They all make a difference.
