Joshua Powers is a student at Nazareth University and the Founder & CEO of Safety Zone, a company dedicated to improving the lives of those with food allergies. Joshua shares his personal journey growing up with food allergies and how those experiences shaped his understanding of the disability and accessibility.

We dive into the controversial topic of peanut-free tables in elementary schools, exploring the pros, cons, and the unintended social consequences. Joshua then takes us inside campus life at Nazareth University, highlighting what the school gets right, where there's room to grow, and actionable suggestions for creating more inclusive dining spaces.

He opens up about the inspiration behind Safety Zone, the impact it's making, and his vision for the future. The conversation also ventures into more personal territory and raises the issue of dating and kissing and food allergies.

To wrap things up, we explore the potential of AI-powered food allergy apps, the tools that claim they can dissect menus and help people with allergies eat out more safely.

This is an honest, insightful, and forward-thinking discussion about advocacy, entrepreneurship, and living fully with food allergies.
