In this soul-deep episode of Trims and Talk, we sit down with the multifaceted Lloyd Samuels—a towering 6’2” presence whose style is as sharp as his mind, and whose story cuts through the noise with grace, grit, and grounded truth.
Lloyd is a youth worker, filmmaker, father, creative, cultural observer—and a man who’s walked through chaos and come out with clarity. We discuss everything from ADHD as a superpower to how he makes sense of the world while juggling fatherhood, community work, and constant creative output. He drops insight on finding purpose in the storm and using pain as fuel.
But what sets this conversation apart is Lloyd’s radical vulnerability.
He shares his journey of growing up in foster care, the silence of an absent father, and the trauma of having to become a man before he was ready.
We get into the heavy stuff—compartmentalizing trauma, masculinity, emotional suppression, the pressure of being the eldest, and even a field trip with 20+men that led to a long-overdue emotional breakthrough. For the first time in over 15 years, Lloyd cried. And that moment? That release? Was freedom.
This episode is about healing, style, responsibility, and the power of being real in a world that keeps asking us to perform.
