Welcome back to The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we celebrate strength, heart, and the connections that shape who we become.

Today, we're joined by a voice you may already know — from ESPN's Hall of Fame show with WWE legend Booker T, from The Brad Gilmore Show, or from his hit Back to the Future Podcast.
Brad Gilmore is a Houston-based TV host, radio personality, award-winning podcaster, and author — and now he's stepping into an entirely new creative chapter with his heartwarming new children's book, There's Something Really Great About a Grandma.

This 42-page treasure is a nostalgic, joy-filled celebration of grandmas everywhere — the laughter, the treats, the wisdom, and the irreplaceable magic of bedtime stories. Blending childhood wonder with Brad's signature storytelling charm, the book is a love letter to family, memory, and the women who help shape our earliest dreams.

In this conversation, Brad shares what inspired the story, how his own grandmother influenced his life, the creative shift from pop-culture author to children's writer, his collaboration with illustrator Timothy J. Marino, and what he hopes families experience when reading this book together.

If you love stories that uplift, warm your heart, and celebrate the generations who raised us — you're in for a treat.
