In today’s episode we interview TikToker and former Team Canada track and field athlete Dave Johnson, aka Blind Hipster Dave. We talk about everything from his life with retinitis pigmentosa to how he went from shy kid to making hilarious videos viewed by millions. Dave spills on the wild (and sometimes awkward) realities of using a cane, passing as sighted, and getting accused of faking blindness. We also get into dating while blind, life as a pro athlete, and why sometimes you just want to blend in and not be the “representative of blindness” that day. This convo is equal parts hilarious, honest, and relatable.
