Moving onto Stephanie's highly ambitious future plans, the episode discusses her aspiration to establish a therapy clinic in Malawi.

Consequently, Stephanie and her team have set up a GoFundMe campaign aiming to raise much-needed resources.
Documenting the journey towards improving autism support in Africa, this episode is an eye-opening exploration of the inspiring actions taken by individuals like Stephanie to address the urgent needs of the international autism community.

He auditioned to be the singer of hard rock band Van Halen after Sammy Hagar's departure.[7][8][9] Malloy recorded various demos with the band, and Eddie Van Halen gave Malloy an instrumental demo to use for his own endeavors. This song was released by Malloy in 2015 as "It's the Right Time".[10]The riff reemerged in the sessions leading up to Van Halen's 1998 studio album Van Halen III in the song "That's Why I Love You."
