08 - Morgan Anderson - Blended families, single fatherhood and a child on the Autism spectrum

I'm very excited to welcome the first of my fraternity brothers to the show!. Morgan Anderson and I met in college at SMU in Dallas (Go 'Stangs!). Morgan has worn many hats as a dad: father of a daughter with autism, single dad and now father in a blended family with 2 young sons. Each of those topics could be a show on its own but we try to get through all of them here. If you're interested in learning more about Autism I'd definitely recommend this one. Morgan tells a very interesting story about "equine therapy" (AKA using horses to help kids physically, mentally, socially, etc.) that really blew my mind.

Here's the equine therapy group in LA that he mentioned: https://www.sheacenter.org/
