Fatherhood and Socks with Two Blind Brothers

⚠️ **WARNING** This episode contains gratuitous dad jokes! 🤣 

Since we last connected with Bradford and Bryan Manning, they have both become fathers. They stop by to answer some wacky questions from John, talk about fatherhood and entertain us with some finely hand-crafted dad jokes. Bradford shares his experience with the encouraging advancements made in testing for severe genetic conditions including Stargardts disease.  After swapping parenting techniques and funny stories the brothers talk about the quintessential item in their catalog, socks and how much fun they’ve had selling them on QVC.

Surpassing Sight with Jack Chen

The great Jack Chen stops by to share his sight loss story and how a simple podcast episode with Dan Berlin turned into a documentary film and bold social action campaign to fundamentally alter the way that employers think about talent in the blind community. Both blind, Jack and Dan knew that their positions as Assistant General Counsel for Facebook and CEO of a large food company were not aberrations. They set out to prove to the world that people who are blind could be successful both on and off the bike, in the saddle and in the boardroom.

 

The gripping documentary film, Surpassing Sight, parallels their journey of building a team to tackle the toughest cycling race in the world, RAAM (Race Across America), with their equally grueling journey through the employment world.
