Episode Notes
This past Sunday on Sunday Edition, we celebrated pride, love, and possibility. 🌈❤️
We opened the show with warm congratulations for Mike Walsh on his recent engagement and upcoming wedding, kicking off Pride Month’s final week with love, joy, and community spirit.
Then we dove into an inspiring conversation with two powerhouse leaders in the world of blind travel: Mike May and Mike Walsh.
Mike May, a legend in adaptive tech and the subject of the bestselling book Crashing Through, spoke candidly about the vulnerabilities and power of sharing both struggles and triumphs with the broader world. He encouraged listeners to break out of their comfort zones, embrace the unknown, and experience the world through the lens of travel and exploration. 🌍✈️
Mike Walsh, Executive Director of the Blind Travel Foundation, shared the mission behind this dynamic new nonprofit—connecting blind and low vision travelers to resources, mentorship, and funding to help them realize their dreams of independent and meaningful travel.
Together, the Mikes discussed how travel is not just a luxury—it’s access, identity, and self-expression. They invited listeners to help grow the movement by donating or becoming sponsors. These contributions support projects that marry travel with purpose, helping members of our community expand their horizons and experience success.
We also previewed the upcoming Blind Travel Summit, happening in Austin, Texas on November 13 and 14, 2025. It promises to be a landmark gathering for advocates, travelers, innovators, and allies.
From advocacy to adventure, tech to trailblazing, this episode reminded us what’s possible when community, access, and wanderlust come together. 💪💼🌟
