In this week’s episode, Leo Yockey (he/him) shares how his first tech job denied him the opportunity to control his narrative. Learn what surprised him about the experience and hear how it shaped the man he is today. We also discuss the "I'm not gay hug." Are you a fan of Tan France from Queer Eye? Leo talks about how reading Tan's memoir was the inverse of his experience, though it helped him find a man to model himself after.🎙️ Connect with Leo:Leo Yockey's websiteThe Leo Yockey Show podcastLinkedInInstagram (now private)X (also now private)💻 Sources and resources from this episode:Leo’s Instagram post on being shirtlessLeo has since taken down his blog post on his tech experienceHost Charlie Ocean, MSW (they/them), has a background in LGBTQ+ training, community organizing, and technology.
