Have you heard of "Inspiration Porn"?? Doesn't matter. This show isn't that. The core message of Taking Off The Shades is about having real conversations with real people who just so happen to face real challenges. Grit, failure, adversity and hard work are pillars of character building that often are overlooked, but for some, there is no other way.

Whether its people with disabilities who have had no other choice than forward to reach their "top of the mountain", or able-bodied individuals who have had to deal with their own hurdles to accomplish extraordinary feats, these stories are worth hearing.

But...this is not your inspiration porn. I have faced my own set of challenges in life, losing my vision at 12-years-old, I know what it's like to be exploited for your story or your disability. Taking Off The Shades is a peak behind the curtain into the mind of some fascinating people, from diverse backgrounds, to better understand who they are, and how they do what they do. Intrigued? Of course you are! Make sure you subscribe wherever you get your podcasts + YouTube.
