In this episode, I’m joined by Tom Haig—a world traveler, writer, and disability advocate—whose journey after a spinal cord injury has taken him across continents and into the heart of global rehab reform. Tom and his brother founded the International Rehabilitation Forum (IRF), a nonprofit focused on expanding access to quality rehabilitation medicine in low-resource countries.

We talk about what inspired him to start IRF, how his own life experiences shape the organization’s mission and what it really takes to improve rehabilitation care on a global scale. Whether you’re passionate about disability rights, global health, or just love a good travel story with purpose, this one’s for you.
