About this listen

It’s never too late to find your truth or change your mind. Join partners Carlos and Anthony—a nurse/professor and an addiction recovery coach—as they navigate an age-gap relationship, late-in-life coming out, divorce, and the art of the "second act".


While our journey started with our own story, we’re going everywhere from here. The Long Way Out explores any and every topic through the lens of experience and curiosity. We’re opening the floor to guests and callers to share their own stories, educate us on new perspectives, and join the conversation. Whether it’s life on the front lines of healthcare or the messy reality of starting over, we’re proving that the long way out is often the most rewarding path.

    Episode 2: After We Hit Record
    Jan 16 2026

    One week after our first episode (recorded on January 9, 2026). We're trying to catch up! In this episode, going deeper about what we talked about in episode 1 (clarifying on the statements that we made), GLP-1s and weight loss, our insecurities, online dating nightmare, more on coming out later in life (struggles, regrets), political differences (and how this could have been a dealbreaker).
