Two Disabled Dudes

Gabriel Cordell was paralyzed due to a car accident.  He became the first person to push his everyday wheelchair across the entire USA.  gabrielcordell.com.  Check out the documentary at rollwithmemovie.com.

Getting started is the hardest part.  Even if you get started down the wrong path you can start over or correct your direction. Either way, you're still farther than if you didn't do anything.

In this episode our conversation is inspired by a listener email! Maria Sobotka reached out to us via Facebook (facebook.com/twodisableddudes) and she cut straight to the chase, asking four direct and specific questions:

• What does having disability mean to you?
• Do you even feel disabled?
• Are you ashamed or proud of being disabled?
• Has having FA changed your view about disability?

We tackle these questions and share a few resources that have helped developed our own perspectives.

One thing we mention is a TEDx talk we’ve both enjoyed in the past, but we couldn’t remember the speaker or the title at the time of the recording! So, Stella Young is who we refer to and her hilarious and insightful talk can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K9Gg164Bsw

Set them, don't forget them.  Be accountable to yourself.

2018 Was awesome.
