Ever wondered how to navigate the vibrant landscape of neurodiversity with compassion and understanding? Join us as Gilda and I take you through the intricate world of autism awareness, shedding light on the astonishing fact that each year, one in thirty children in the US are diagnosed with autism—a number that only grows when considering the wider spectrum of neurodivergence. We move past the cold clinical discussions, bringing a warm, inclusive conversation to the table, and challenge the preconceived labels that society often assigns. From discussing effective communication strategies to celebrating the unique gifts that autistic individuals bring to our lives, this episode promises to enrich your perspective and arm you with the knowledge to offer meaningful support.

In a heart-to-heart segment, I share a deeply personal narrative about my son’s triumphant path to independence and his dreams of a career in animation and video game design, underscoring the power of early diagnosis and bespoke support. We also highlight the mission of the Autism Resource Project (ARP) in providing a lifeline to families seeking guidance, and I touch upon the solace found in personal hobbies and the significance of Self-Care. For parents out there, my advice is simple yet profound: trust your intuition and harness the wealth of resources at your disposal for the benefit of your child’s future. So, tune in and let this episode be your source of education and a testament to the extraordinary impact that empathy can have on those within the autism community.

Steve Ramona Doing Business with a Servant's Heart

Steve Ramona discovered his calling at a young age and is now on a mission to share his secret sauce for success. He thrives on forging meaningful connections, sharing referrals, and watching people flourish.

His contagious passion for the Law of Increase makes his podcast "Doing Business with a Servant's Heart" so successful. This show is chock-full of inspiring stories about overcoming challenges and serving others.

Steve has a knack for spreading good vibes and elevating those around him. He learned from his dad that the entrepreneurial spirit is a great way to make money. I can share stories of how people serve, struggle and win. We all must overcome something, so why not learn to serve and overcome it much faster? I learned early working in our Health Club the importance of customer service. I learned that the more I served it was a win-win for everyone. I enjoy working with people, referring people, and helping people grow. The Law of Increase is my mission when I network around the world.

I love to mentor business people and offer all the resources I have. To win, you must grow yourself first; then, you can share this with others! I am an avid reader and have built a large book directory on sharing with others.
