    I’m usually a tough critic when it comes to podcasts. I can’t fault this one though. Thoroughly enjoy each and every episode, & have learnt so much along the way. The episodes always have of points of view & experiences that are really eye opening. Nick I think you’re an incredible inspiration. You seem like such a genuine and humble guy, and your ability to keep smiling & find your way in the world will always stay with me. You deserve so much happiness.

  • Wow!

    Wow, this is the podcast I didn’t know I needed! After my Dad’s accident in 2018, which left him a C4 quadriplegic, we had no idea what was to become our new normal. Listening to all of these amazing people has been a beautiful form of therapy for me. This podcast perfectly shines a light on the strong and caring family and friends in the life of a person with a disability. Thanks guys!!
