Bill Harmon, seasoned retirement industry executive, broke through the polished corporate veneer to share a deeply personal story.Bill takes us through the life-changing moment when his son William was born with Down syndrome, and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. After initially struggling with clinical, limitation-focused medical resources, Bill discovered a beautiful metaphor that changed his perspective forever: "Welcome to Holland."
