They say that living a lie is harder than living your truth. But in 1999 when life was completely falling apart: a divorce, two households to support, job loss, career change….. had someone, at that time, suggested to, “just wait because the good stuff is coming,” Rick would have screamed, “Fuck off!”

But there are times in life when we must start over. We must go through the challenges in order to grow.

Today, Rick Clemons is a life and business coach, speaker, author, and podcaster. With his husband by his side and two grown children, life looks dramatically different than it did more than 20 years ago.

“I started living by my expectations rather than others, and gained the confidence to love me.

“Instead of seeking out hidden sexual experiences and lying about who I was, I found love with a man who embraced me and my kids.

“Of course, none of this was easy. I wouldn’t bullshit you. That’s not my style.”

In addition to speaking from stages around the country, today Rick helps men who are struggling with their sexuality to learn to be themselves, to stop making excuses, face their fears, and commit to living an unapologetic life.

“The truth of who you are is far more powerful than the false truth you are pretending to be, so let’s work together to show the world WHO YOU ARE!”
