Body Positivity, Speedos & Content Creation with Zac Goes Places
In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, UNB Tim sits down with Zac (Zac Goes Places) — a travel-loving content creator based in Orlando who mixes body positivity, swimwear confidence, and a little thirst-trap fun into his social media presence.
What started as a personal journey toward confidence turned into a powerful message that every body deserves to feel good in what they wear — including Speedos.
Zac shares how he went from never posting a shirtless photo to becoming a content creator encouraging others to embrace their bodies and take risks in life.
This conversation covers everything from Andrew Christian being a gateway brand, to the realities of content creation, social media algorithms, and body image in the gay community.
And yes… there are plenty of Speedo stories.

The First Pair of “Gay Underwear”
Zac talks about discovering Andrew Christian underwear as a closeted teen and how the brand served as a gateway into the world of sexy underwear for many gay men.
Because let’s be honest…
A lot of us had that moment discovering underwear that made us feel confident.

From Self-Doubt to Body Positivity
One of the most powerful parts of the episode is Zac’s body positivity journey.
After quitting a toxic corporate job and hitting a personal low point, Zac decided to take control of his health and confidence.
He set a goal to lose weight and eventually wear a Speedo publicly — something he had never done before.
When he finally posted his first Speedo photo online, the response was overwhelming.
Thousands of views and messages from people saying:
“You inspired me to post my Speedo photo too.”
That moment helped Zac realize something powerful:
Every body is a Speedo body.

Swim Briefs & Confidence
Zac and Tim talk about:
• The comfort of swim briefs
• Wearing Speedos beyond the pool
• Finding brands that balance comfort and style
• Why more men should try them
Because once you find the right pair…
You may never go back.

Living Life Without Waiting
One of the biggest takeaways from this episode:
Stop waiting.
Whether it’s wearing Speedos, traveling, creating content, or chasing your goals — life is too short to hold yourself back.
As Zac says:
“We only get one life. If it’s not hurting anyone, just do it.”
