If you're an abled person who doesn't have to worry about ableism in your day to day life, you're likely unaware of the many different shapes and forms that ableism can take. I know it's certainly a relatively new topic for me! And that's why I'm so excited to share this episode with you, featuring Beth Gorishek from Adaptive Knitter.
Beth has been adapting everything ~ including her knitting ~ her entire life as someone who is limb different. She's passionate about teaching folks how to become more adaptive, but she's also passionate about bringing more awareness to ableism. As a business owner who isn't especially familiar with ableism, you may be unknowingly excluding folks through ableist business practices and design!
Dive into this episode to learn what ableism is and how it might be currently showing up in your business.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
