098: You’re never too old to be fully yourself – Colton Ford

"I'm to old for that!" Really, then you must not have any
adventure left in your life and your soul. How about instead, you
said, "I'm never to old for that!" That attitude and outlook will
make you stay as young as you choose to be, because it is all
your mental outlook as to what you can and can't do, regardless
of what age you are. Just ask musician and former adult film
star, Colton Ford.


“Figuring our way through challenges, hardships and difficult
times is an integral part of life for most men, and where we can
learn and grow the most on our journey through it.” Colton Ford
acknowledges that the past several years have been challenging
for him – debilitating, at times – but he
has found inspiration through the process, reflected in his
songwriting, as he is coming out to reclaim his direction for his
life and his music - even as a 50+ year old guy! This is his
inspiring podcast on never being to old to have adventure in your
life.
About Colton

His debut single, “Stronger,” from his upcoming EP, “Unity,” was
written by Ford along with his collaborative partners, Ron
Schrader and Spin Sista, collectively known as Woop Woop
Productions.


Colton was also named in AfterElton.com's Top 50 Gay Male
Musicians, he was featured in Cyndi Lauper’s video for her hit
“Into The Nightlife,” and also performed on the Lauper-helmed
2008 True Colors Tour. He was the subject of the acclaimed 2003
documentary, “Naked Fame,” and has had cameos in the films
“Another Gay Sequel” by Todd Stephens, and John Schlesinger’s
“The Next Best Thing” starring Madonna and Rupert Everett. Glenn
co-starred for three seasons playing Sheriff Trout on Here! TV’s
“The Lair,” and was also a featured panelist on the channel’s
resident chat fest, “Threesome.” He made his off-Broadway debut
in 2012 co-starring in “Little House on the Ferry,” and also
co-starred in Studio C’s Production of Howard David Rivers’
critically acclaimed play, “And All The Dead, Lie Down,” in
Hollywood California, 2018.


For the past seven years, Ford took a conscious step back from
his public life, still releasing an album (“Glenn Soukesian” in
2016) and several singles during that time, but not pushing his
work the way he had done previously. “I needed time to process
the losses I was experiencing during this time, reflect and
grow,” he says.  “With regard to my work, these days
I’m not compromising my vision, changing who I am artistically or
doing music that doesn’t represent me.  I’m doing what
I feel is right for me first and foremost. I’ve grown very
comfortable and confident trusting my creative voices without
question or compromise.  I’ve become Stronger.”
