This week's guest is John Griffin.
This was one of those shows that veered in an unexpected direction -- for the better!
As we settled into our seats some 1,000 miles apart for the interview, I dropped the first topic on John and we were off with no holds barred.
A quote "Disability isn't about pity, it's about paychecks" from one of his podcasts got us going on what could have been two guys literally on a road trip or sitting in a pub.
This was a two-pint discussion that would have called for at least a third as we continued our discussion after the recording ended.
After listening to the show, take a gander at the episodes of John's Accessibility Interview Series HERE.
During our discussion, we looked at one of John's shows that features the future of wheelchairs, the Revolve Air Wheelchair. You really should take a look HERE.
Digging into John's background, I came across a book that he wrote titled This'll Be The Day That I Die which is a Sci-Fi straight from the early 1960s black & white television show, The Twilight Zone, or the 1950s radio classic X Minus One. Interested? Pick it up on Amazon HERE.
Perhaps one day John and I will have another discussion -- this time in a pub!
P.S. During the show, I made a promise that if I were granted an interview for an open teaching position that I am qualified for that I would make a point there are currently no teachers on staff that are openly disabled. Interviews were arranged within a few days of the position being posted before I could even apply as the Department of Public Instruction continues to ponder how to deal with my lack of fingerprints (I am a quad amputee). That thud you hear is me banging my head against a wall.
