“As a first movie as well, the adrenaline was just insane! Like Seeing Chris (Hemsworth), seeing everyone, it was just amazing” - Sean Millis on ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’.
You've probably seen Sean on your social feed before! Whether it's Australian television's ‘The Voice’ where Sean describes the gravity of the blind audition as being “scared and a bit anxious” to the journey of now playing a character in one of Hollywood’s biggest franchises, can Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin get an exclusive out of Sean before the films released this coming Thursday May 23rd?
Not only did his song reach #1 in the UK but inspired and encouraged none other than Premier League team Manchester United Rasmus Hojlund for an unforgettable goal that Sean describes as full of ‘adrenaline’.
But how does Sean keep up with this hectic schedule when his life revolves around regular hospital visits?
He reveals what our screens don't show in this episode of ListenABLE.

"When I fly I am a very different person, I am my true self"
Ask yourself this question: Would you be comfortable with the pilot of your plane being Autistic?
With his passion for promoting real inclusion for people on the Spectrum, Hayden McDonald (22) is Australia's first "Unofficial" Pilot who is Autistic to fly solo across Australia.
"Don't want to take that risk and doesn't want to be Neurodiverse Friendly" is when Hayden speaks with Angus and Dylan on the significance of dismantling barriers between people with disabilities and the aviation workforce.
Hayden also talks about how he went from being mute as a child to public speaking all over Australia. Sharing his own stage preparation techniques when it comes to public speaking on his own social media platforms, at educational events, and even at Parliament House.

“I’ve always been talking about my disability through the lens of fashion”
With over 120k followers on social media, April Lockhart's limb difference has now become her "greatest accessory"  as she educates the public about her disability.
April's ability to tell stories through her outfits on social media is one of passion and authenticity as she chats to ListenABLE on how fashion comes first over function every single time.
In addition, April shares her "mixed relationship with Fashion Week," discussing how she and other disabled people created an inclusive project in the New York Fashion Space, an event where it is already very easy to feel excluded whether or not one has a disability.

"If I'm with ten friends and all of us can't get into a space all ten of us will go elsewhere"

Sociability is working towards having a FREE platform to check the accessibility of pubs, bars, cafés - you name it and question all of your requirements at the press of a button. Imagine as a hospitality business having a FREE platform that provides a resource for customers that brings in customers simply by might already exist!

Tech Entrepreneur and Innovator Matt Pierri stumbled upon the idea for his app 'Sociability' after discovering how much of his own time was drained trying to find places to hang out socially for him and his friends, as a wheelchair user, attending Oxford University.
 
In this Episode of ListenABLE we speak about the importance of recognising disabled voices in the tech space, why disability and business go hand in hand and how a tool like AI that was meant to assist users with disability could be concerning.

As we celebrate 100 Episodes of ListenABLE, Dylan, Angus and Matt reminisce about their previous Podcast recording that never made it to air, a shameless plug about their new studios and the future of Tech & Disability.
As well as possibly the best 'Bowl of Uncomfortable' question we have EVER had!
