Mark D’Agostino: I’m Not Starting Over, I’m Becoming
Episode 31
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
A retired Army officer and father comes out at 67, choosing authenticity, love, and a fuller life — as himself. In this episode of Out Late With David, Mark D’Agostino, a retired U.S. Army officer and father of three, shares his powerful coming-out story at age 67. After a 43-year marriage and a military career shaped by duty and silence, Mark chose to stop surviving and start becoming. He reflects on family, love, reinvention, and the profound relief that came with finally living authentically — not starting over, but becoming fully himself.Takeaways It’s never too late to come out.Living in alignment feels like a weight lifted.Family acceptance often exceeds our fears.Reinvention doesn’t mean erasing the past.Choosing yourself expands your world, not shrinks it.Where to find Mark: Join me on a culinary journey inspired by the flavors of Italy.
