Text our show

Key Takeaways:

-  It is never too late to start over. Begin with what you have right now, this moment. If you feel overwhelmed or scared, you can first start small and do something that is only a little bit scary; and even take strength from the challenging things you've already done or overcome.

- Accessibility benefits everyone.

-  Be open to asking for help and be willing to receive it. “ When you refuse to ask for help, you rob the other person of the joy they would have received from helping you”  - Maxwell Ivey

They say life is a carnival, full of unexpected twists and turns. No one knows this better than Maxwell Ivey, a former carnival owner turned accessibility advisor whose life story exemplifies resilience and adaptability. On our latest podcast episode, Maxwell opens up about his journey, from the grief of losing his father and their family business to surmounting his own physical and mental health challenges. He doesn't just share his story though; he provides a roadmap for anyone facing their own adversities, emphasizing the strength in asking for help and the power of inclusivity.

As we wade through the waters of business and accessibility, Maxwell casts a beacon of light on the importance of embracing disability in all aspects of life. He shares invaluable insights on how businesses can create inclusive environments—not merely as an obligation but as a strategic advantage that enhances everyone's experience. This episode is particularly eye-opening for podcasters, as Maxwell offers practical guidance on how to make their content more accessible, ensuring that their message resonates with a broader, more diverse audience.

Ending on a note as vibrant as a freshly dyed head of hair, we share a lighthearted moment that reminds us of the joy found in self-expression. Maxwell's wit and wisdom invites us to reflect on our own journeys and consider how we can all contribute to a more accessible world. Tune in to experience a conversation that is as enlightening as it is engaging, with stories and tips that will leave you inspired to make a difference—in your life and the lives of others.
