A Special Episode of Jaunted Wisdom 

This episode means a lot to me. I had the privilege of interviewing Michael Attanasio, owner of Glass Auto Glass, who I originally met through a Chevy Chevelle Facebook page.

Michael has a deep connection to ALS—he lost his mother, grandmother, and uncle to the disease. As many of you know, my father was diagnosed with ALS a year and a half ago. Our conversation was powerful, personal, and one I’ll never forget.

We talked about his journey in the auto glass industry, his love for classic cars, and the impact of ALS on our families. Our discussion went over an hour, and I couldn’t bring myself to cut a single moment.
