Blind Abilities

The Blind Drive: Humanness First, Ambassadorship Second


Listen Later

In this opening episode of The Blind Drive, Jeff Thompson, Liz Bottner, and Tim Schwartz get real about "ambassadorship," authenticity, and living blind life on our own terms. With humor and sharp storytelling—from a "Scarlet Letter B" riff to a crosswalk shove gone wrong—they tackle the tension between educating the public and simply being human, bad days and all. They argue that respect should start with humanness first, that education helps but can't be forced, and that confidence grows by getting out there: bus rides, ballgames, breakfast spots, and small wins that build community. Practical encouragement and gentle challenges abound—bring a friend, take that first route, learn the skills, and decide when (or if) to teach in the moment. No waiting for perfect tech. This is about motion, mindset, and everyday mastery—today.
