Episode title and number: Looking Beyond Eyesight Featuring Dr. Hoby Wedler & Jackie Summers | Season 2 - #10

Brief summary of the show:
Welcome to Season 2 Episode  10 of Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R.  This month's episode centers on a beautiful partnership of two individuals who come together to create a unified front to combat systemic barriers. Topics revolve around barrier-breaking, sensory literacy, privilege, diversity, blindness, aromatic symphony, and more.

Dr. Hoby Wedler's Bio:
Dr. Hoby Wedler is an insightful, disarming, and passionate thinker who loves to bring people together to help them see new possibilities. With the heart of a teacher, Hoby helps turn dreams into realities. Hoby has been completely blind since birth. He is a chemist, an entrepreneur, a sensory expert, and is driven by his passion for innovative, creative, and insightful thinking. Hoby is remarkably tuned into his surroundings and has frequently chosen to walk the unbeaten paths in life over known territories. In 2016, Hoby earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from UC Davis. His fearlessness is infectious, and he has actively paved the way for others to join him in his quest to follow passions regardless of the challenges that lie ahead.

Jackie Summers' Bio:
An acclaimed author, public speaker, and entrepreneur, Jackie Summers is the founder of JackFromBrooklyn Inc. and the creator of the award-winning Sorel Liqueur. After being diagnosed with a spinal tumor and given a small chance to live, Jackie Summers not only beat those odds, but left his decades-long corporate career to create Sorel as a way to honor his Barbadian heritage. Following 623 failed attempts, Summers perfected the first and only shelf-stable sorrel liqueur. Most recently, Summers was nominated for the James Beard Media Award for Personal Essay, Long Form, and was honored among Wine Enthusiast’s Future 40 and Food & Wine magazine’s Drinks Innovators of the Year. Summers’ mission is to tell stories of marginalized peoples in their own voices.

Episode title and number: FSuccess In Plain Sight Featuring Dan Berlin & Jack Chen Season 2 - #7

Brief summary of the show:
Welcome to Season 2 Episode  7 of Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R.  Today we're talking with former Iron Men, Dan Berlin and Jack Chen about their soon-to-be-released  documentary on their experience during the Race Across America. Known as the World's Toughest Bicycle Race, Race Across America is a grueling coast-to-coast 3,000-mile cycling event.

Dan and Jack's tandem team consisted of physically fit sighted pilots and blind stokers.  This interesting conversation draws parallels from the boardroom to interdependence and the capabilities of blind people.  If you've ever doubted what blind people can do, this episode will challenge you to see those on the blindness spectrum in a new light.

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 5 of Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. For this month's podcast episode we have a real treat for you. We've taken the BBB On A.I.R. podcast to the street to gather input about inclusion.
