My conversation with today’s guest has been in the works for some time and I am more than elated to FINALLY share it. Theron is someone who you meet once, immediately feel like he’s your best friend and this conversation definitely evokes that. In part one of this conversation, we’ll talk about growing up as a Methodist Apache kid who converts to Mormonism as a way to have more structure to avoid his inner knowing. The awakening that happens as Theron searches for his “people” is inspiring and brave.

Theron is absolutely charming and hilarious, so much so that we will have part TWO of this conversation for you in a few weeks.

About our guest:

Theron Olivar is an Arizona Native (Apache) who was raised Lutheran and converted to the LDS faith at the age of 18. He volunteers his time to support ALL (Arizona LDS LGBT), a cause that speaks to his heart. He works in compliance and has a long career in the world of finance. Theron now believes that he is who he's meant to be, that life is too short to over analyze everything and is excited to see what the future holds. He currently lives in Arizona with his long-time love and partner.
