We’re back with part 2 of Chad’s incredible story. If you haven’t listened to the first half yet, head over to part 1.
In the second half of this conversation, Chad and I dive into the deep depression that sent him into a suicidal state, explore his healing journey, and talk about how he made it to positively “going all in on his disability”; discuss the challenges he faced trying to obtain his first job as a blind person, the unexpected pivot his career path took as a result of the pandemic, and the importance of accessibility in the gaming world and how he leveraged his video game passion to propel forward; and highlight the critical role disability exposure and representation play in shaping personal identities and societal stigma.
