About the episode

When Dan lost most of his vision at 16 due to a rare genetic condition, his world changed overnight. In this powerful and personal story, Dan shares what it was like to lose his eyesight as a teenager, how it impacted his identity, and the barriers he still faces in public spaces today. From using a cane to bonding with his guide dogs, to being denied access to venues, Dan speaks openly about what true accessibility and inclusion really means. This video explores the everyday challenges of living with blindness — and what all of us can do to create a more inclusive society. Whether you're in hospitality, education, or just want to better understand the blind and low-vision community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
