“I think suffering and tragedy is unbearable without community.” – Brandon Moffitt

In this powerful episode, Andrew sits down with Brandon Moffitt, executive director and co-founder of Black Mountain Academy—a therapeutic boarding school for neurodiverse boys—to reflect on the impact of Hurricane Helene. They discuss the chaos and shock of the storm’s immediate aftermath, how the local community rallied together, and the profound human connection that emerged from the tragedy. Brandon shares how the students and staff at BMA were affected and how moments of crisis can reveal the strength of relationships and the beauty of collective care.
