In this episode, Shaimond and guest host Dr. Gary Cusick welcome Sam Seavey, an online health advocate for the blind community and owner of the popular KZfaq channel 'The Blind Life.' Sam shares his journey with Stargardt's disease and how it took him decades to fully accept his visual impairment. He discusses his work at the Bluegrass Council of the Blind and his KZfaq channel, The Blind Life, an invaluable resource where he shares assistive technology and tips for the visually impaired community with over 9 million views and counting. The conversation touches on the importance of accessibility, emotional support, and the transformative potential of AI and other technologies. Sam's work at the Bluegrass Council of the Blind and his contributions through his KZfaq channel make him a beacon of inspiration and information in the visually impaired community.
