Thank you for tuning into episode #6 of The Why Moments Podcast. In this episode, I interviewed Alan Metcalfe who is a former machinist and currently working as an explosives technician. He shares his story of growing up with a disability known as Autism and how this made socializing very challenging for him. He also shares a tragedy that caused a long-term depression and how he took actions to turn his life around.
This was such a powerful, inspiring story for hear and I'm honored to be sharing this with my audience.
Alan, I have so much gratitude for getting the opportunity to meet you and share your story. Thank you again.
