1) On 02/21/16, I met my husband, Roy Montero, on a live streaming platform called 𝑩𝒍𝒂𝒃. That platform ceased to exist about 6 months after we met. (This was the year before FB Live came into existence.) I thank God that Blab was around long enough for me to meet my soulmate.

@sagesteele - In January 2011, my son lost the first word he ever said “dada”. And the only time I ever heard “mama” was when he was in fight or flight mode and wanting my security.

Now, 15 years later, he is still unable to speak due to autism and apraxia. Apraxia is understated because it’s been overshadowed by the autism diagnosis. Apraxia is also a neurological disorder, but it’s a brain/body disconnect. It is where a person has cognitive ability and awareness, but their gross motor skills are unable to perform in a way that they can convey that cognitive ability.

It was only within the last year that I realized my son has apraxia. I have been begging the public school system to provide tools for my son that will help him to communicate in a way that he can convey his cognitive ability. But all of my advocacy falls on deaf ears.

One year ago, I enrolled my son into a program called S2C - Spelling 2 Communicate which I first discovered through @delbigtree. This program has been life-changing for my family in that it has validated what we already knew to be true. We discovered that our son is super smart … but for 15 years, he has been unable to communicate his knowledge.

I would really love for you to dive deeper into this topic on your show. There are so many parents and caregivers that are unaware of this program and its ability to unlock a whole new world for the non-speaking community.

@GuntherEagleman Who is this mom and how can I get in touch with her?

[April Roga @AprilRoga]

I love @TimTebow AND the other Tim (you). And the same reason for both of you.

I love Tim Tebow because of the work he does with the special needs community. And I will never forget when twice you graciously accepted a meeting with me during your time as Knox County Mayor.

I came to you with some ideas around how the county could do a better job getting the word out about resources for parents whose kids are newly diagnosed with autism.

The ideas that we discussed never came to fruition, but your door was always open to your constituents to have discussions. And I absolutely loved that about you.

Now that you have a greater reach in your current role, I would love to share with you the battles that moms of nonverbal autistic children with apraxia are facing within the public school system. These individuals are often seen and treated as cognitively incompetent, but they are highly competent and often not given the opportunity to show just how intelligent they are.

@vvanedwards I’m INNN … just tell me how one becomes friends with the great Vanessa Van Edwards 😉

[April Roga @AprilRoga]

On January 6, 1992, at the USF Sundome in Tampa, I saw @OzzyOsbourne play what was supposed to be his final tour called No More Tours.

He put on THE most amazing show that I will always remember. What a grand memory 🎸 🤘

RIP to the true GREAT Oz!!!

@alexsanfilippo8 Alex, I love love love that definition!! Thank you for sharing it.

Also, if you've never heard Patrick Bet-David unpack the difference between interested, committed, and obsessed ... listen to what he says below.

I believe you'll love what he says because it goes beautifully with the definition you shared.

@rawsalerts Is there anything we can do to assist the families of the loved ones that didn't survive?

Have there been any fundraisers started?

[April Roga @AprilRoga]

All of this, and I am just now starting Chapter 1 🤯🤯🤯

How I'm investing my July 4th weekend ... reading and marking up @PatFlynn's Lean Learning book that arrived this week 🎉

My book will be entirely yellow, underlined, and sticky-noted by the time I'm done because everything in this book is essential to my mission.

[April Roga @AprilRoga]

@celestial_chic @VigilantFox No. What type of practitioner would be able to guide me?

[April Roga @AprilRoga]

@PatFlynn says there are 3 Types of Champions, and I outlined them below based on the notes I wrote down from this amazing conversation (video below 👇) he had with another wise human ➡️ @seancannell.

1. Emotional Champions

These are your friends, spouse, partner, kids. These people may not know what you are setting out to do, but no matter what, they are there for you.

2. Peers and Colleagues

People who are in "this thing" together helping each other out, in it for each other and the greater good (i.e., masterminds and networking events). These people are important to you because they understand "the language". These people may not have the time to mentor you, but you can help each other out.

3. Personal Mentor

The person you pay or the person who takes you under their wing. The person who has already gone down the same path that you've wanted to go down. They've already made the missteps and can guide you through the tough terrain. This person can hold you accountable and check in with you.

Some combination of those 3 people can help you get to where you need to go, but you CANNOT do this alone. Pat says you have to get out of your chair, go to events, or meet people in online communities. Even just ONE buddy to hold you accountable can be the game changer.

Pat is not my personal mentor in the traditional sense of the term, but he DOES indirectly mentor me through his videos and workshops.

If you are not following Pat and learning from him, I highly encourage you to do so. He shares so much wisdom!
