Hey pals, so I'm going to start doing a lot more episodes where we share stories about people's lives. Ever since interviewing Rodney Croome, I've realised the more we share our stories, the less fear some people have about our lives.  ​ I was really lucky to sit down with the super cool Jaxxon Chilli this week and listen to his trans story. Jaxxon runs TBar at Sporties (in Brisbane, Australia) and he's one of the coolest people I've spoken to in a long time. His story is amazing - it's funny and heart-warming and I know you'll love it as much as I did. Jaxxon, thank you again for sharing your story with me and I'll see you on the 8September for TBar!

Full disclosure - I was moved beyond belief to hear Rodney talk about his life of activism and to hear what Tasmania was like when I was growing up. ​ Before I spoke to him, I thought I knew about what he'd done for the LGBTQIA community but believe me, I didn't. ​ He was right there in the fight for rights when people were calling for the death penalty for gay people. Yeah, the death penalty. ​ It's a big interview and it covers a lot of information. Let me know what you think.
