THE IT GUY COMPLEX
We’ve all had that moment when we liked someone and felt like we needed change ourselves to be “good enough.” Lord knows, it took years to shake that off of me. I created this thing called the It Guy Complex where I considered guy that had abs, expensive clothes, and swagger (the guys girls liked over me) competition. This followed me well into college and only prayer and therapy helped. I can to realize that I was more than what I wore, more than what others thought of me. I’m still shaking it off but I’m better now, I can write about it. That leads me to my big news. I’m excited to announce the premiere of a new audio fiction series called Project It Guy. The series is being presented through the Nightride Podcast and will launch on June 1, 2021. The story follows Caleb Connors, a freshman at Kingsborough High, is in love with a girl in his drama club. Here’s the problem, she’s in love with one of the school’s elite class of jocks, the “It Guys.” With the help of his friends, Caleb formulates a multistep plan to transform himself into an It Guy and win her over. I hope that this story will make you laugh, and also show you that it’s ok to be you, because you are great.
