It’s human nature for us to say, “I won’t believe it until I see it.”

It worked the other way around for Louisiana Tech’s Dr. Edward Bell.

The director of the Professional Development and Research Institute on Blindness, Edward didn’t believe he had much of a future after becoming blind; he couldn’t see one.

But through education and training, he was given hope and resources — and an optimistic vision that would change his life and the lives of many others. While some aspects of his life have been altered, physical blindness hasn’t stopped him from having a fulfilling career, a beautiful family, and a rewarding life.

He shares this story and more in this episode. See what you think.
