Celebrating 25 Episodes: A Heartfelt Look Back on Our Journey Through Autism

Welcome to Why Not Me the World? Podcast hosted by
Tony Mantor, broadcasting from Music City, USA, Nashville, Tennessee. Join
us as our guests tell us their stories. Some will
make you laugh, some will make you cry. Real life
people who will inspire and show that you are not
alone in this world. Hopefully you gain more awareness, acceptance,
and a better understanding for autism around the world. Hi,
I'm Tony Mantor to Why Not Me the World. Today's
show is a very special one. I do not have
a guest, so it appears you're stuck with me. I
promise only for a short time. I'll keep it short
and sweet. When I started this podcast, I was told
eight episodes. Most podcasts will make it to eight episodes
and then puff they're gone. Well, this episode is episode
number twenty five. Can you believe that? Twenty five episodes?
After talking with several people finally deciding to do this podcast,
I truly didn't think it would last long. How am
I going to succeed when I know absolutely nothing about
the subject that I'm going to be talking about? It
seemed like a recipe for disaster. Who would want to
come onto a podcast talking about their stories of autism
with someone that knew nothing about it. It just didn't
seem like it would work to me. So now here
I am making plans for next year because of you.
I have gained several things out of this. One a
podcast that is helping people. Two people that are willing
to tell their stories to the world. Three and the
most important is the friendships that I have gained from
doing this. Everyone that has come on this show seems
like part of the family now. They've helped me. They've
done so many things to boost the show, telling people
sharing it. I've gained so much in twenty five episodes
that I just can't explain it all together. We have
made this podcast chart and rank in Apple charts and
various charts around the world consistently. That's all because of you.
So while you're taking time off, first and foremost, spend
the best time that you can with your friends and
family and enjoy this holiday season. If you have any
downtime and want to re listen to some of your
favorite episodes, this is a time. If you're new to
this podcast, I urge you to listen to as many
as you possibly can. For this whole lot of information
in these episodes. Also, if you have any ideas, subject matter,
anything that you'd like to hear on this podcast, just
let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.
The last thing that I'll ask you to do is
tell your friends and everyone that listened to this to
go on to Apple or Spotify and hit that like
button and in Apple leave a review. All those will
help build this podcast. I've got several exciting projects coming
up for next year to help build this, including a
song and a video to be released by April for
Autism Awareness Month. So this is my last episode for
a few weeks. I'll be back mid January with a
new seeds and so to speak. So until then, I
want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a
very prosperous New Year and happy holidays to everyone. Thanks
for being part of this. I'm really looking forward to
what next year can bring to all of us. Thanks
for taking the time out of your busy schedule to
listen to our show today. We hope that you enjoyed
it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.
If you know anyone that would like to tell us
their story, send them to tonymantor dot com contact. Then
they can give us their information so one day they
may be a guest on our show. One more thing
we ask tell everyone everywhere about why not me? The world,
the conversations we're having, and the inspiration our guests give
to everyone everywhere that you are not alone in this
world
