What does it take to live fully, love boldly, and lead from the heart—when the world around you often looks the other way?

In this powerful episode, Boysen Hodgson sits down with Diego Medina, a 31-year-old public speaker, artist, and advocate who has lived as a quadriplegic since the age of seven. Diego shares his journey of navigating life, love, and leadership in a world not designed with him in mind. From overcoming social isolation in high school to discovering his passion for storytelling and public speaking, Diego invites us into a raw and deeply human conversation about visibility, vulnerability, and the power of community.

You'll hear about Diego's experience in men's groups through the ManKind Project and Father Sons Brothers, his growing leadership as a facilitator, and his commitment to building a more inclusive, loving world—starting from within.

This is an episode about presence. About connection. And about what happens when we choose to see each other, fully.
