S3 E7: A Little Something Extra with Andrew and David Olshine
Thursday Apr 25, 2024
Thursday Apr 25, 2024
Father and son authors Andrew and David Olshine join the show! Andrew and his father, David, join us to talk all about their journey which ultimately led to the creation of their brand-new book, Fearless as a Honey Badger, Brave Like a Wolverine.
In this episode, David, an established Author of 16 books, tells us about his experience as a father of a son with Down syndrome and how he embraced the diagnosis to create the best life possible for his son. Andrew (who we would all want as a best friend) is a miracle in his own right! He shares his story of overcoming Gulliane Barre Syndrome and how his bravery and strength helped him overcome the virus. After recovering, his dad helped him channel that bravery and his love for animals into their latest book! We then dive into some fun conversations about our greatest fears, our favorite animals, the experience of co-writing a book together, some inspirational words to live by, and of course some great ‘Little Something Extras’! It is a super fun episode with a really amazing father/son duo. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
