Todd joins Diana to talk about the unexpected career path that took him from movie theaters and Disney to working as a flight attendant, winning Survivor: China, rebuilding his life after alcoholism, and eventually discovering an artistic talent he didn’t know he had until his 30s. Today, he and his husband create custom artwork through Todd’s Pop Shop, a business Todd built around creativity, community, and doing work in a way that actually works for him.
Todd also gets candid about what it means to start over when you feel like you’ve failed, why setbacks don’t erase everything that came before them, and how deliberately looking for things worth celebrating helped him change the way he saw himself and his life.
