What this episode covers
Join Our Community Here: https://www.lifeintransition.online/ What if the experts were wrong, and your instincts were right all along? Rob Delena spent years doing what he was told. His son Ryan was different — physically explosive, brilliantly curious, impossible to contain — and the schools, the therapists, and the specialists all had the same answer. So Rob followed the experts. And watched his son get worse.It wasn't until a desperate afternoon when Rob threw Ryan in the car with no plan and drove 45 minutes to a ski hill that something shifted. Ryan — the kid who couldn't sit still for five minutes in a classroom — carved a perfect turn down the mountain on his first run and looked back like he'd been doing it his whole life. That accidental afternoon became a 10-year journey across ski mountains in Utah, Colorado, Montana, and beyond. And somewhere on those chairlifts and mountain drives, Rob stopped trying to fix his son and started actually seeing him. This episode is one of the most honest conversations about fatherhood Art has recorded. Rob doesn't present himself as someone who got it right. He presents himself as a man who got almost everything wrong — and what he found on the other side of that honesty.
