## Resource

In this episode of It Started With A Kiss, we are joined by the history-making Josh Cavallo. The professional footballer and global advocate opens up about the moment he came out to the world, the toxic masculinity of the locker room, and why he’s finally found his wings on and off the pitch. Josh shares the hilarious story of why his fiancé originally blocked him (thinking he was a catfish), taking a 10-day trip to Bali with a total stranger, and the emotional truth behind that viral proposal. Get ready for a conversation full of heart, courage, and a whole lot of shimmying.
