Brittany Bronson’s Story of Bao
Brittany Bronson will surprise you. She’s learned to live her life with bipolar 1. So much of her story is borderline shocking, not simply because she’s overcome so many unique conflicts, but because she’s put the work in to live a powerful life, despite living with a mental illness.
When I first met Brittany, it was at a relatively modest karaoke night at a very local sports bar. It was the kind of bar that wasn’t upscale but also wasn’t embarrassing—very clean, good people, but was basically holding over for the next fight night or football game ..read more

Dustin Harnish’s Story of Bao
We live in anxious times. It’s easy to be uncertain or perhaps negative about how our decade is starting off.
But that’s why I wanted to interview Dustin. He makes positivity feel like a talent, even though by definition it’s a choice. He allows appreciation to seem like a trait, when in actuality it’s just a matter of giving something a bit more time. I know very few people who have been through the range of conflicts that Dustin has faced. The irony is, in times of conflict and uncertainty, I’m not sure if there’s a more gracious, more positive person than ..read more

Benjamin Cioppa-Fong’s Story of Bao
Benjamin is the kind of guy who goes by Benjamin opposed to Ben. The kind of guy who probably seemed like he was 29 years old when he was 12. I say this because, if you begin to listen to Benjamin’s story, he’s clearly someone who was forced to mature faster than most; introduced to loss at an age where many of us are just learning how to grow. And now, he’s fighting every minute of the day to save lives as an emergency room nurse, right on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He’s an Emergency Room Nurse and medical professional by trade ..read more

Lucy Carillo’s Story of Bao
It feels like Lucy Carillo could be your Aunt. Her laughter and jokes are too comforting to not feel relatable. Her energy is too glad-to-see-you to not feel like you’ve felt it somewhere before.
It’s very likely Lucy Carillo is not your Aunt. But her story is one I knew I needed to tell. Lucy didn’t grow up around love, but she somehow managed to find a way to make a love-for-life one of her inherent traits. I wanted to find out why…and how.
Where did she find love growing up in such a dark world?
How did she form such a strong laugh, the k ..read more

Brian Gilmore’s Story of Bao
I remember the first time I met Brian Gilmore—I didn’t technically see him—I heard him. He owned these pair of cowboy boots that were all beat to hell, which you could hear echo through the office where we both worked.
Brian is one of the quickest, smartest people you could probably ever meet. He’s not smart in like an arrogant way, but more like it is sort of accidental, like he’s sometimes almost tired of being smart, because it allows him to see and absorb so many things that just get to pass other people by.
Brian works with some of the most skilled cr ..read more
