HS Brotherhood
Built on Brotherhood: How It All Began
Joey and Parish take listeners back to where it all started — the origins of The HS Brotherhood. From a simple idea sparked during an HS advocacy project to a thriving community of men supporting one another through honesty, humor, and healing, the brothers reflect on how this space came to life.
They share the real story behind the vision — from Joey’s early dream of reaching men through barbershop talks to the creation of a safe, judgment-free community where men with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) can speak openly about pain, resilience, and growth.
This episode dives deep into:
- The birth of The Brotherhood and the passion behind its mission
- How advocacy and mentorship transformed both hosts’ lives
- Breaking the stigma around men’s health and vulnerability
- What it means to lead with heart, honesty, and brotherhood
It’s more than a conversation — it’s a look at how two advocates turned shared pain into purpose, creating a movement that’s helping men find strength in connection.
