In this episode, the YFNF crew takes you on a wild ride—literally and emotionally. What started as a trip to Santa’s Village for the Ride for Autism event turns into an unforgettable mix of laughter, adrenaline, and heartfelt reflection.

From ziplining off terrifying platforms, near-wipeouts on mountain bikes, and being knighted by Santa’s brother (yes, that happened), to a moving sit-down with Manny, founder of Ride for Autism, this episode blends comedy and purpose in classic YFNF fashion.

Manny shares how his son’s autism inspired a growing grassroots movement, and opens up about cultural stigma in Latinx families, the healing power of the outdoors, and the importance of community-led support in the face of dwindling federal resources.

Highlights include:

  • The real story of riding down a ski mountain on bikes (spoiler: not for the faint of heart)
  • Why Santa’s Village is the magical, low-key escape you didn’t know you needed
  • Manny’s journey from tacos and fliers to a full-blown nonprofit
  • Advice for parents raising neurodivergent kids—especially in immigrant communities
  • Honest thoughts on aging, fear, and how five-year-olds now climb like Spider-Man

Whether you came for the laughs or the learning, this episode delivers both.
