Adam & Pris sit down with Dan & Lacy—aka The Swing Nation—for a candid, funny, and surprisingly tender conversation about what it really takes to build a lifestyle brand while staying real as a couple. They share how an overseas deployment, COVID, and a spicy OnlyFans idea snowballed into viral TikToks, a top-rated podcast, and a nationwide community. We get into boundaries, why "no sex required" is a perfectly valid club night, how to spot clout chasing, and the weirdness of being both hosts and humans at their own events. They open up about social anxiety, shadowbans, sponsors, and what's next: TV talks, NDAs, and a new music-festival-meets-hotel-takeover brand. If you've ever wondered how the sausage gets made in lifestyle media—this is it.

What we cover
-

-
When one partner is more sought-after: How they check their egos, keep it respectful, and why "connection first" beats counting notches.
-
Clout vs. authentic interest: The awkward moments, being recognized, and why they often play with a trusted circle.
-
Community at scale: Discord in the tens of thousands, sell-out takeovers, and trying to be present hosts while the AC breaks and the DJ swaps sets.
