Does work speak for itself?
October was Disability Employment Awareness Month and Blindness Awareness Month. Andrew, Will & Phoebe get busy reflecting on their experience in the job market, self-employment vs corporate work as a disabled person, the A.D.A. and hiring laws, and the values people with disabilities can bring to the workplace.
Future guests Lachi (RAMPD, Glam Canes) and Emily Seelenfreund (BORP Adaptive Sports) are featured in a little audio montage about imagined and actual work.
Things we drank:
bubly water
Lagunitas IPA
cold brew
Things we talked about:
jobs we've always wanted to try (and what's stopping us)
coolest jobs we've done
Employment and The Law: The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990)
Self-employment
Advice you wish you'd had entering the job market
