    It's A Wonderful Life with Steve Garraty

    Steve Garraty is the author of Greatfruit: How Cancer Led to Living a More Fruitful Life, a speaker, and a longtime business leader. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's as a teenager, his life was interrupted early by illness, uncertainty, and adversity that reshaped how he viewed growth, resilience, and what truly matters. That experience became the foundation for his mission to help others reframe perspective after life's toughest moments. Through honest storytelling and practical reflection, Steve helps readers find clarity in the wake of cancer, divorce, grief, job loss, and other defining disruptions. Drawing from his personal journey and decades in sales leadership, he emphasizes appreciation, gratitude, and paying it forward—while encouraging people to embrace a glass-half-full perspective in growing from their own challenges.     Follow Me!

    Hey Nash! Hey Nash! This is what dreams are made of

    My nephew Nash recently took a trip to the Long Island Childrens Musuem. He got to get a taste of what it was like to record a radio show, be a newscaster, and create core memories- quite literally. Nash was so excited to think he could listen to himself on the way to school instead of kidsbop. I wanted to share this with my listeners as I talk about Nash so often and he brings so much joy.
