Personal life
Conolan's long-time partner in life and TLC for Kids is Ana Darras.
At the age of 21 Conolan was asked to attend a cancer-support group camp (Canteen) as a motivational speaker with his brother, David. At that camp Conolan met 17 year-old Francis Stockbridge, who was suffering from lung cancer. That meeting created a connection that was to change the course of Conolan's life. A few days later, Stockbridge called Conolan for support, after being told he had just one month left to live. Relying on life skills, Conolan was able to use motivational techniques to help Stockbridge focus not on the future but on each day. This encounter inspired Conolan to support kids in need.
