Hey guys and welcome to episode 165 of the Ocede Stories.com Podcast.

Now in this episode I interview Sean Chinick for a second time.

Now you may have heard the first episode I did with him which was episode 157. If haven't heard it I encourage you to go check

it out it's a great episode with Sean shares his story it talks about his monster

initiative and draw your monster projects which He's Monster Initiative and Draw Your Monster Projects, which is a fascinating use of art and advocacy.

But yeah, because I had so many more questions for him that I couldn't quite get to in my first

conversation with him I got him on again for a part two so this is what this will be

we talk a lot about hope or he does it's a really fascinating account hope, I ask him how he renews his hope in difficult

times. I ask him about what it was like to share his story on the podcast, opening

up and being vulnerable, and the reason I asked

him that is because I know it was challenging for him and I've had a few questions

recently about advocacy and sharing your message and dealing with the sometimes difficult emotions that can come with that initially.

I asked him about his advocacy project, the Monster Initiative and he goes into detail there.

We also talk about the OS.C. game changes event,

which is obviously now been and gone,

at the time of the recording,

we hadn't quite done it yet.

So he talks about the topics he was going to speak about,

and in fact he did, and he did an amazing job at the event.

You talk about how OSTD has affected his intimacy in his life and how he's kind of dealing with that.

And we cover many other things to do with his advocacy and his story. So as always I find Sean very inspiring and I know many of you do too. So I hope you enjoy this episode and without further ado here is Sean Shinnick.

On the podcast today I have Sean Shinnick.
