Steve talks with Mark Stockbrocks, who is a triplegic  (meaning he only has the use of his right hand and arm). Mark discusses his accessibility program which means that Mark will slap your business with a sticker if you don't meet the accessibility standards for a person in a wheelchair.  

Mark had a lifechanging incident when he was in his 30's; just as he was about to embark on a new career in firefighting. He was attending a CFL football game and suddenly fell down and lost consciousness. He was intubated and on life support in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. Mark ended up having 2 life saving brain surgeries, and at some point heard a nurse say that he was a paraplegic. Mark does his best to recollect the events of his hospital experience. 

Mark has made it his mission to discuss and promote wheelchair accessibility. He talks with people in government to share his accessibility concerns and to try and promote awareness and change. He approaches businesses who should improve their wheelchair access, by pointing out the problems and offering the solutions. He has created stickers which he will give to buildings/offices who have great accessibility; but watch out: he will be back if you need improvements and he will definitely follow up.
