Today, I’m incredibly proud to share something new.
Behind The Scenes with Eric Hattum isn’t just a podcast episode.
It’s the unfiltered heartbeat of Dear Grandpa, It’s Michael.
It’s the moments you didn’t see.
The conversations that happened when the cameras were off.
The doubts, the breakthroughs, the quiet strength that shaped this journey.
And it all starts with Eric.
Eric isn’t just someone who sat down for a conversation. He represents the kind of courage that keeps stories alive — the courage to speak honestly, to listen deeply, and to show up even when it’s uncomfortable.
Just like Michael.
Just like Karen.
Just like so many families who refuse to give up.
This project has never been about perfection. It’s about truth. About real people navigating real lives, autism, mental health, love, frustration, hope, and resilience — all at the same time.
In this podcast, we pull back the curtain.
You’ll hear how this project came together.
Why these stories matter.
And what it truly means to keep going when the road feels heavy.
If Dear Grandpa, It’s Michael has ever made you pause, reflect, or feel less alone — this episode is for you.
Because behind every story you read, there’s a conversation that changed someone.
