Hey, What's Up! It's Tommy. Today, I want to share an experience that hit me hard and gave me some much-needed clarity about the direction of this show. If you're navigating life as a parent of a child with autism, or just trying to be the best version of yourself, I think you’ll connect with this one.

• Reflecting on the Journey – The feedback from my episode with my wife was amazing! It’s a reminder that sharing openly helps others know they’re not alone.
• Finding Structure in Chaos – Joe, my producer, has been encouraging me to create a more structured approach to keep the show rolling. That includes bringing my wife on monthly and keeping consistent content coming your way.
• The Power of Respect and Awareness – Inspired by Chris (aka the Undereducated Felon on TikTok), I’ve been reminded of how crucial it is to presume competence in our kids. Just because they’re nonverbal doesn’t mean they aren’t listening, feeling, and understanding everything around them.
• A Wake-Up Call in the Snow – A simple game of hide-and-seek with my son Wyatt turned into an emotional realization. When I ducked behind a tree, he panicked immediately. The fear in his voice when he called for me hit me like a ton of bricks. Our kids might not fully grasp danger, but they absolutely understand fear—and that’s something we, as parents, must always be mindful of.
• The Urgency of Health – That moment made me realize: I have to live forever. Of course, that’s impossible, but what it means is that I need to do everything I can to be strong, healthy, and present for my son as long as possible. That’s why I’m doubling down on my physical and mental health, and I want to bring you along for the journey.
• New Direction for the Show – Moving forward, I’ll be dedicating at least one episode a month to health—our health as parents and caregivers. I’m also working with a company to bring insights on supplements, fitness, and ways to sustain our energy for the long haul.
• Giving Back – I’ve been blessed with incredible mentors and support in business and life, and I realize that many people don’t have that. I want to be that voice for you. Whether it’s parenting, business, or just life in general, I’m here to help in any way I can.
