Instead, he’s sharing two incredible, unforgettable stories from his bestselling brand new book Failure Is Not NOT An Option: How the Chubby Gay Son of a Jesus-Obsessed Lesbian Found Love, Family, and Podcast Success … and a Bunch of Other Stuff. From hilarious misadventures with a golden (and grouchy!) celebrity to a touching story of saying yes to growing a family, you simply must hear the wisdom and the hilarity that Patrick has brought for the Awesomes!
