Welcome to 68 Words! As the title says...this is Episode Zero. This is the 'origin story' of what 68 Words is, and is going to be. You'll also hear details about other spokes of our initiative, Think Differently and Act! My name is Eric Chase, from Cumulus Media (Q105), but also host of this new podcast we'd love for you to include in your content choices. Our first guest isn't one at all. He is Stuart James, the Executive Director of The Ability Center. Please enjoy our conversation and look for monthly podcast guests who have various kinds of disabilities, but that doesn't stop them from living, loving, laughing and most of all, inspiring.
Think Differently
Together, we will work to make our community the most disability friendly in the nation by increasing independence for people with disabilities, discovering true passions, and changing the community's perception of disability.
