  • Episode 341-From Classroom To Kitchen: How A Las Vegas Confectionery Trains Neurodivergent Young Adults For Real Jobs
    Jan 13 2026

    Send us a text

    A box of chocolate peanut butter balls shouldn’t change a life—but in our Las Vegas kitchen, it often does. We sit down with Sugar and Spice founder Sherry Long, a former teacher who transformed a classroom skill set into a bustling confectionery that doubles as a paid training ground for neurodivergent and at‑risk young adults. What started as an accidental side hustle became a clear pathway to confidence, wages, and work‑ready skills.

    Sherry walks us through the full system: 10‑week paid placements, job coaches in the kitchen, and close partnerships with Empower Us and VocEd to match young people to roles that fit their strengths. We talk real operations—food safety, labeling, invoicing, box folding, retail fulfillment—and the multi‑modal training that makes it all click: visual aids over the sink, verbal cues like fold in, fold out, and hands‑on practice until muscle memory takes over. The stories land where it matters most: a trainee crying happy tears at a first paycheck, a quiet teen leading a production line by week three, and families discovering that transportation coaching and consistent routines can turn anxiety into agency.

    We also make a case to local businesses: stop saying “no one wants to work.” There’s a talented, motivated workforce ready to contribute if you offer clear tasks, patient coaching, and inclusive hiring. Whether your setting is back‑of‑house production or a public‑facing role, job carving and steady mentorship can unlock reliability, retention, and pride. Parents will leave with practical ideas to build independence at home—small chores, visual lists, and the space to try, fail, and try again.

  • Episode 341- A Parent’s Roadmap To Planning Autism Adulthood And Personal Reinvention with Author Matt Ross
    Jan 7 2026

    Send us a text

    A quiet moment over coffee can redraw a life. That’s where our guest, Matt Ross, realized he wasn’t just surviving anymore—he was ready to build a plan for growth. We trace how that spark became Grow or Fold, a candid guide to navigating midlife, protecting your family, and designing a future that feels both possible and personal.

    Matt shares the arc of his career—from building radio stations to leading School of Rock to launching One River School—alongside his most defining role: father to a nonverbal autistic son. The conversation gets real about crisis points, including a psychiatric breakdown at 16 and the hard decisions that led to residential care. We break down the “autism tsunami,” from long housing waitlists to the urgent need for early, strategic planning. Expect clear, actionable insights on special needs trusts, guardianship pathways, and how to work with the right legal and service teams so your child is supported for the long haul.

    We also unpack a practical playbook for personal reinvention. Matt’s five-part progression—self-awareness, responsibility, the pain of change, the cost of not changing, and disciplined action—pairs with his MVP: My Vision Plan of ten goals for the next ten years. It’s a humane system that fits busy lives, helping you align daily habits with a future you actually want. Along the way, we talk playfulness, creativity, and the science-backed power of generativity: giving to others as a path to meaning, resilience, and longer life.

    If you’re juggling caregiving, career, and your own unmet goals, this episode offers clarity, courage, and a framework you can start today. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and tell us: what’s the one change you’ll commit to this week?

  • SEASON 15-Designing A World That Includes Everyone From Day One- Stream-Able Live Introduction
    Dec 28 2025

    Send us a text

    What if accessibility came first and everything else got better because of it? That’s the idea we rally around as Sara Bradford, aka SJ Childs—AuDHD Advocate and creator of Stream-Able Live and the SJ Childs Global Network—lays out a clear, urgent case for building inclusion into the foundation of our products, events, and stories. With one in four people in the United States living with a disability today and more than two billion projected globally by 2050, the numbers alone demand a redesign of how we create and share experiences.

    We unpack what an access-first world looks like in practice. From live captions that are accurate and customizable to typography choices that improve readability, from seamless screen reader support to predictable navigation patterns, every choice is a lever that opens the door wider. Sara explains how Stream-Able Live hardwires these levers into the platform so creators don’t need permission or add-ons to be included. The result is not just better accessibility; it’s better usability for everyone and a healthier creative ecosystem where disabled creators can lead and shape culture.

    Beyond the interface, we talk about accessibility as culture, policy, and strategy. Inclusion first means planning events with access in mind, budgeting for interpretation, writing alt text as standard, and treating transcripts as part of the content, not a footnote. It also means acknowledging the business upside: when we leave people out, we leave innovation on the table. Inclusive design expands audiences, reduces support costs, strengthens brand trust, and surfaces new ideas that only appear when more people can fully participate.

    If you’re ready to move from compliance to creativity, from retrofits to inclusive defaults, this conversation is your nudge. Subscribe for more builder-focused stories, share this episode with someone who can move resources, and leave a review telling us the first accessibility change you’ll champion.
