Awesome conversation with Nick Savarese the original director of Sky'z The Limit! He is now Director of the Doug Flutie Jr. Autism Foundation in Boston, MA. https://www.flutiefoundation.org

*Below is a "Tab" or "Cheat Sheet" if you'd like to skip around to relevant points if you are pressed for time :

Minute 1 - 6 : Introductions and getting re-connected (Nick knew me, Ryan when I was a teenager).

Minute 6:00 - 21:00 : Nick addresses , What is the area of most need ? We discuss the power of strength of addressing needs by focusing on "your lane" whether that's advocacy, financial supports, housing, or fun/social connections.

Minute 21:00 - 24:00 : Nick and I talk about how there are real world companies , like Oracle & Dell who fill jobs with people who have autism , not as some quota, but because there is "bottom line impact" in their work.

Min 24:00 - 26:00 We cover how “Everyone has the ability to be productive” and the "Intangible services" our population can serve.

Minute 26:00 - 28:00 We take a quick look at Bryce's life and his "Cliff dive of transitioning out of SCHOOL" which is universal experience for so many young adults with special needs, and the challenges their families face.

Minute 34:00- 38:00 : we take a quick trip down “Memory Lane”

Minute 38:00 : Nick shares his view on how to help our community . The "extra" effort that it might take from someone who does not have special needs, but how impactful those choices can be from volunteering your time to taking in those considerations like choosing to open doors instead of close them.

Minute 42:00 Nick is sharing about an awesome tapestry of Sky'z The Limit T-Shirts that were sewn together , see the image on our website: www.skyzlimit.org

Minute 43:45 - DRAG RACING MUCH !?!?!?
