Host Lina Forrestal interviews Matthew Simon -- Yes, a DAD! Matt’s wife, Alexis, has been on the podcast twice, telling the story of their son, Theo, who was born with a rare genetic heart condition. In the first episode, she talked through the journey of his diagnosis and in the second episode, she walked us through what it was like watching Theo get heart surgery for his condition. In those episodes, she mentioned how she and her husband, Matt, are a team. In this episode, we hear from his perspective: what this journey has been like, how he’s feeling today, and what is the secret sauce to working as a team during challenging times.
