Gavin Neate, founder of WelcoME joins us to chat about making venues accessible, making tech sustainable, making community a priority, and making sourdough bread. That's right, we can make a tangent out of most any topic, friends, and this episode has a few. Gavin is masterful in getting us back around to the point, which is getting WelcoME (or something like it... but we prefer his company--in both senses of the word) to these United States, and the world. That's right. It's only our first episode and we are seeking to take over the world! With disability justice and customer service!
