Episode 3 - Christian D'Auteuil, The Ultimate Dad


Listen Later

Christian d'Auteuil is an inspirational father of two children who have special needs, and it became clear within a minute of speaking with him that he's a special guy. He's also the Director General of Ultimate Montreal, the city's largest ultimate frisbee organization. Christian provides some very personal insights into what parents of special needs children go through, and he includes some excellent resources in the show notes.


Very grateful to have him as a guest and just to meet him in general.
