This episode shows us the beauty and joy of two parents of a lovely child diagnosed with Down Syndrome. With every parent of children, there are challenges, joys, and stresses, but having a child with special needs is not something discussed or understood by everyone, and I want to share with you the two amazing parents how things work in their world. We discuss how they have built a support system, schooling, finding time for friends and each other, the health ins and outs, and everyday tips and tasks to make the day great.

In this episode, I am honored to have my friend Daniel as he shares what it's like living behind his eyes. Daniel is diagnosed with Asperger's which is a form of Autism Spectrum Disorder, a developmental disorder that can lead to having a difficult time relating to others socially, and their behavior and thinking patterns can be rigid and repetitive. Throughout the episode Daniel opens up about a wide range of topics to better help you understand him as a person, not a diagnosis, some things we discuss are therapies, struggles, schooling, family, communication, sensory, routine, work, social cues, relationships, coping mechanisms, resources, and more as you find several gems throughout.

The big takeaway that I hope you come away with from this episode is that in our lives, we will cross paths with people that change us. As we meet someone new unknowingly we try to place them in boxes or categories. Sometimes you can see someone is different on the surface, hear it in their voice, or they will share something with you about themselves that changes your perspective. Never judge that person as a result even if it's an unknown to you, take the time to become knowledgeable because that person may change your world like Daniel has done for me.

The world of fantasy role-playing games is one of intrigue but most get overwhelmed by the intricacies and misunderstandings of how it works. During this hour you get a small introduction with some general knowledge questions answered. The classes, personalities, gaming examples, Dungeon / Game Master, dice, worlds to play in, board gaming vs computer-based, how long a campaign can last, and misconceptions. Take a moment to listen; perhaps this will make you want to give gaming another look. Just remember the game can only take you as far as your imagination allows.

My friend today is Derek Weinrich, and what we are discussing is the magic that comes from reading about events and places in history and then traveling to these locations to soak in the moments where these events took place whether it is local or international its life-changing because it changes your perspective about things when you see it in person because our history helps us understand how events in the past made things the way they are today. That being said, we are not experts, just enthusiasts sharing our joys.

There is a lot being said out there about cannabis and I had the great privilege of sitting down with a very knowledgeable friend to help shed some light on the topic. Garrett currently manages a Hemp and CBD shop and has a true passion for the products he sells and uses. With each topic, we are going to discuss some specific questions and concepts. Below is a list. 

CBD: what is the chemical compound, usages, how it works, effects, ways to consume, dosage, finding reputable brands, economic impact, and legalities.

HEMP: environmental impact, historical background, uses, how is it grown, how its processed, effects, and the prospective future of the industry.
