  • Author of "Eyeless Mind: A Memoir About Seeing and Being Seen." The True Story of How a Music Teacher Made a Major Medical Discovery
    I am an author,  speaker,  and international advocate for people who have cerebral/cortical visual impairment (CVI). CVI was identified as the number one cause of visual impairment in the developed world more than ten years ago and still doesn't have a diagnostic code. There are tens of thousands of people in the U.S alone who have CVI, and they are struggling to gain access to diagnostic, educational, and habilitative services just like we did.  Children who have CVI are routinely misdiagnosed with autism,  intellectual disability, and behavioral and emotional disorders. They frequently go for years un-and misdiagnosed,  just like my son did.

    CVI can be an entirely invisible disability. There is no way to tell that my son is almost completely blind academically,  socially or physically. We had more $150,000.00 in medical bills trying to get a diagnosis for what turned out to be a common visual impairment. It is my mission to end the discrimination against people who have CVI. I would be honored to be a guest on your podcast.

    Inflammation causes pain, but we can control our inflammation. Fibromyalgia or other chronic conditions aren't the end of living your best life. They are just not the opportunity to learn new ways of thriving.

    Strategies to reduce pain, increase mobility, move in ways that honor your body, and stop living in the past.

  • Mindful Innovation with Matt Mueller
    Matt Mueller has over 20 years of experience in the retail & consumer packaged goods industry and has always been fascinated with one question; Why? This fascination led him to a role in corporate innovation helping him to bring structure, clarity & deep insights to the forefront. Spending thousands of hours in the homes of customers and shopping alongside them, Matt has been able to unlock some of the biggest business challenges, creating great change for corporations to nonprofits. Matt realized how difficult it was to innovate and used mindfulness to help better understand challenges and overcome obstacles. He is now a columnist for Innovation Leader, a top publishing company in the Innovation space, and is helping shed light on how others can innovate within their organizations. For the last 3 years, Matt has explored the intersection of Innovation & Mindfulness to help anyone create great change and has written a book called The Mindful Innovator.
