This week's guest is my dad, Dr. Andrew DiMeo, Ph.D.Most of you know him as a biomedical engineer, founder, TEDx speaker and mentor to many people in the health innovation world. I know him as the guy who taught me how to keep showing up when things get hard. So getting to sit down with him for a real conversation was a cool one for me.We dove into his brand, Authbition, and what it actually means to be authentic and ambitious. We talked about his TEDx, his "whole mind game”, and what he's learned about balance and priorities while building companies and raising a family.No fluff here. Just real stuff from someone who's lived it. If you're an entrepreneur, chasing something big, or just trying to figure out how to keep it all together, this one's for you.Like father, like founder. Enjoy.

A little different from our usual episode.

In this update, Drew gives some context on what’s been going on behind the scenes with FreeWillFort, Jackson, and JD & Friends. Jackson is stepping away for a while to focus on himself and get the help he needs, and we wanted to address it honestly rather than pretend everything is business as usual.

We also talk about what the next few weeks look like for JD & Friends, why the show is going to keep moving, and the bigger idea that life isn't about how many punches you can throw — it's about how many punches you can take and still get back up.
