#79 - The Autism Voyage: A Father's Purpose Rewritten

In this deeply moving episode of The Personal Success Podcast, Ryan sits down with Michael Pereira—father, husband, entrepreneur, and founder of The Autism Voyage—to explore what happens when life hands you the unexpected. When Michael’s son was diagnosed with autism, it wasn’t just a diagnosis—it was a total shift in priorities, identity, and purpose.

Together, they unpack the journey from denial to acceptance, from corporate success to personal significance, and the powerful metaphor of learning to write life in pencil, not pen. Michael shares how he and his wife found alignment in their marriage, why they believe movement brings clarity, and how faith has become the foundation of their family’s resilience.

Whether you're a parent, a professional at a crossroads, or someone simply seeking more meaning in your day-to-day, this episode is an invitation to redefine success in a way that feels real, grounded, and yours.
