Jason Eichenholz built a remarkable career as a technology entrepreneur, earning more than 85 patents and leading groundbreaking innovations. But his most important work began at home.

Inspired by his son Jonathan, Jason is creating Jonathan's Landing — an inclusive community designed to help adults with autism and other neurodiverse individuals build meaningful careers, live with greater independence, and thrive as valued members of their communities.

In this week's Celebrate Your Story, Jason shares the personal journey behind the project, explains the growing "services cliff" facing families as children with autism reach adulthood, and discusses how entrepreneurship can help solve one of society's most pressing challenges.

In this special Father's Day episode, Jim McCann shares stories from listeners and Celebrations Pulse readers about the dads who shaped their lives through resilience, kindness, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication.

From single fathers overcoming extraordinary challenges to parents pursuing lifelong dreams while putting family first, each story reveals a powerful truth: being a an Amazing Dad isn't about perfection — it's about showing up, day after day. Through personal reflections and moving listener tributes, Jim explores the lessons fathers teach through their actions.

Together, these stories remind us that our greatest impact on others often comes from how we make them feel and the example we set along the way.

What happens when the one thing that defines your identity suddenly disappears?

In this week's episode of Celebrate Your Story, I speak with Jake Moscato, whose life changed in an instant when a football injury ended the identity he had spent more than two decades building.

For years, Jake knew exactly who he was: a Division I athlete. When that chapter closed, he found himself facing something many people experience after a major loss, career change, illness, or life transition: the unsettling question of who we are when the role we've always relied on is no longer there.

Jake shares his journey through severe anxiety and panic attacks, the books and mentors that helped him find his footing, and the lessons he learned about faith, purpose, and personal growth along the way. His experience shows we don't have to see the entire path to begin moving forward. Sometimes healing starts with one small step, followed by another. This episode is about resilience and the possibility of rebuilding a life that looks very different from the one you originally imagined.

What happens after you build something people love and realize your biggest work is still ahead of you?

Eliza Blank spent over a decade turning The Sill into a category-defining brand, bootstrapping for five years before taking outside capital, and learning everything from brand strategy to financial modeling on the fly.

Then, at the height of her success, she pivoted to FarmLink, a nonprofit rescuing hundreds of millions of pounds of surplus food for the 48 million Americans who need it most.

In this episode of Celebrate Your Story, Eliza tells me about what building a startup actually costs — the relationships you deprioritize, the sleep you lose, and the questions that don't show up in any business plan. She also talks about the partner who made the leap possible and the moment she realized purpose and profit don't have to live in separate worlds.

What makes an Amazing Mom? In this moving episode of Celebrate Your Story, I return to that question through the words of the Celebrations Pulse community.

I read stories about single mothers, military families, and women who carried their families through illness, loss, uncertainty, and everyday hardship with strength, faith, and love.

I also share the story that helped inspire our Amazing Moms campaign 40 years ago: a handwritten prison letter from a son who wanted to honor his mother with flowers. It reminded our young company of how deeply people need ways to express gratitude.

Together, these stories are reminders that Amazing Moms are often found in the everyday acts of love that hold families together, lift children up, and influence generations.

In this week's Celebrate Your Story, I sit down with Dr. Dale Atkins, renowned psychologist, relationship expert, and author of The Turquoise Butterfly, for a conversation about grandparents, grandchildren, grief, and the rituals that help shape a family.

Dr. Dale shares how the book was inspired by her late mother, a loving presence who helped her see that relationships do not simply end when someone dies. Instead, they live on in stories, songs, rituals, and even in small signs that bring a loved one back to mind.

We also explore the unique role grandparents can play in a child's life, not just as loving elders, but as storytellers, keepers of family history, and what Dr. Dale calls a source of "slow wisdom" in a world that rarely slows down.

This episode is about what children remember, what families hand down, and how the smallest moments often become the ones that last. If you've ever thought about the people who shaped you, or the kind of presence you want to be in someone else's life, this is a conversation for you.

What if one of the most pressing challenges in modern life isn't money, power, or even technology, but our growing disconnection from one another?

In this week's Celebrate Your Story, I speak with Allison Gilbert about loneliness, friendship, community, and the simple but powerful habits that help us stay connected in a world that too often pulls us apart. Drawing on her work with the late Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Allison shares hard-earned insights about loss, resilience, and why connection is not something we can leave to chance.

We talk about the struggles many young people face as work and technology rapidly change, the special role grandparents and intergenerational relationships can play in shaping identity, and why "social health" deserves as much attention as physical and emotional well-being. This conversation is full of practical ideas and one question that may be worth asking more often: When will I see you again?

If you've been feeling stretched thin, isolated, or a little out of rhythm with the people who matter most, I think this episode is for you.

In this week's Celebrate Your Story, I sat down with Haresh Tharani, who came to the United States in the early 1980s and built a career that began in apparel manufacturing and grew into global business and investing.

His journey includes time spent working across countries and through periods of instability, along with years of building and leading businesses. Today, he focuses on a life grounded in family, faith, loyalty, and purpose.

He defines success through discipline, listening, and being present for the people in your life. A lesson from his grandfather has guided him: You have two ears and one mouth, so use them in that proportion.

For Haresh, the measure of a life comes down to how we treat others. It's a simple idea, shaped by experience and practiced every day. If you're thinking about your own path, there's something here worth holding onto.

In this week's Celebrate Your Story, I speak with Josh Schneps, CEO and co-publisher of Schneps Media, one of the largest networks of community media brands in the New York region. The company began in 1985 when his mother, Vicki Schneps, started a neighborhood newspaper at their Queens dining room table. Today it includes nearly 100 publications and sites serving communities across New York and Florida.

At a time when many local newspapers are disappearing, Schneps Media prints about 600,000 papers each week. But its success isn't just about print. The company has built a broader platform centered on the communities it serves — combining local journalism with events, digital publications, and partnerships with businesses that want to reach people close to home.

Josh also shared how new tools like artificial intelligence are helping his team monitor local conversations and surface story ideas. But he was clear about one thing: Technology may assist the work, but journalism still requires human judgment and responsibility.

Our conversation reminded me that in a world increasingly dominated by global platforms, there is still value in focusing on the communities around us. Local media can still play a powerful role in bringing communities together.
