I’m excited to share that my book, From Struggle to Strength: A Father's Journey with Autism and the Power of Hope and Positivity, is now live on Audible.com! I had the pleasure of reading and narrating it myself, and the experience at MINC studios in Southpointe (Pittsburgh, PA) was truly enjoyable. In just a few days, it will also be available on iTunes and Amazon. I’m thrilled to announce that my book has achieved Amazon best seller status and is steadily reaching more readers every day.

I constantly face criticism from those who dislike Kenny Pickett. They often say, "he's just a backup." While you sit in discontent, likely in your parents' basement, you're trying to ridicule a quarterback who is living his dream, playing for the team he grew up loving, earning millions, married to a stunning Princeton graduate, and now on his way to the Super Bowl. Instead of wasting energy on disparaging Kenny, channel that effort into bettering your own life. #FACTS #KPtheQB #H2P
