As I travel the country to give my keynotes and workshops, people will often ask if I still have contact with J-Mac. I laugh, as I get out my cell phone and show the 6 texts I have received from Jason just since I landed.<\/p>\n<p>J-Mac and I are very close today. He has been working on my basketball staff for the last 8 years. I see Jason almost every day during the basketball season and have some type of contact with him nearly every day throughout the year. He has almost become a second son to me. Since J-Mac is on the Autism Spectrum I have been given the gift of being able to learn more about autism. The latest research\u00a0states\u00a0that 1 out of 68 children born in the U.S. will be on the Autism Spectrum. That is staggering to me! I have partnered with a local autism organization called AutismUp. Working with them allows me to be a part of an organization that supports individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, their families and the community.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tSTAY UP TO DATE WITH COACH JOHNSON\n\t<\/h3>\n<h5>\n\t\tSign up today for our newsletter and stay connected with great information!\n\t<\/h5>\n\t<!-- Begin MailChimp Signup Form -->\n<link href=\"\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/horizontal-slim-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#mc_embed_signup{background:#trans; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; width:100%;}\n\t\/* Add your own MailChimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.\n\t   We recommend moving this block and the preceding CSS link to the HEAD of your HTML file. *\/\n<\/style>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/coachjimjohnson.us6.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=e502298f2d077c349faadf9b9&amp;id=42c251a359\" method=\"post\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" name=\"mc-embedded-subscribe-form\" target=\"_blank\" novalidate>\n\t<input type=\"email\" value=\"\" name=\"EMAIL\" id=\"mce-EMAIL\" placeholder=\"email address\" required>\n    <!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->\n    <input type=\"text\" name=\"b_e502298f2d077c349faadf9b9_42c251a359\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\">\n    <input type=\"submit\" value=\"SUBSCRIBE TODAY!\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"mc-embedded-subscribe\">\n<\/form>\n<!--End mc_embed_signup-->\n\t<p>In one of my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/coachjimjohnson.com\/meeting-planners\/presentation-topics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">keynote presentations<\/a>, one of the things I talk about is <em>Carpe Diem<\/em> and J-Mac is such a great example of what happens when you\u00a0<em>seize the day<\/em>!
