## Resource

Zach sits down with author, comedian, and TikTok sensation Kevin James Thornton to talk about his memoir Big Baby (out June 2, 2026) — a raw, funny, and deeply personal story about growing up in Indiana, getting sucked into church youth groups, moving to Nashville to chase a record deal, living in his car at 40, going viral at 50, and everything in between. Kevin shares what it was like to tour Europe as a newly famous comedian, navigate a gay divorce, record an emotional audiobook, and finally tell the full truth of his life in print.
