Today we have a very special guest – Allie's dad, Ron Simmons! He's here to talk about his new book, "Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon: 15 Ways to Take Charge and Create a Path to Success," in which he shares his story and advice on how to live the richly meaningful life you were meant to live. We discuss his upbringing and how this shaped his work ethic, meeting Allie's mom, and what the "little red wagon" in his book stands for. We talk about finding financial freedom, building up a business, and prioritizing being a present father. Then, we take a look at Trump's announcement on Truth Social that he will be arrested today. What's really going on, and what will the response be? --- Timecodes: (01:00) Giveaway (01:40) Interview begins (04:20) Growing up (13:40) Meeting Allie's mom & finances (21:45) Red wagon & making hard decisions (30:35) Building a business (36:29) Fatherhood (46:16) Life lessons (48:30) Cancer diagnoses (55:49) Trump arrest prediction --- Giveaway: We’re giving away three prize packages, all featuring some of our advertisers' products, new Relatable merch, and a copy of Allie's signed book.
