SUMMARY:Foreseeable Future Facetime | Brian Switzer (Episode 3)
DESCRIPTION:Our next episode of Foreseeable Future Facetime web series with our guest Brian Switzer. \nMark Farrell\nHost @Insight Podcast \nMark Farrell has heard that seemingly innocuous question “Are you blind?” many times… And while it can leave someone with a visual disability feeling inadequate or angry\, Mark always responds politely\, “No\, I’m not blind\, but I am visually impaired.” Mark developed a get-up-and go\, optimistic outlook and seeks out activities which make him happiest. His optimism includes a passion for life and music\, an appreciation for life’s little things: a hearty laugh\, a good song\, a delicious meal\, a perfect sunny day\, and a great bike race or triathlon. He works as a talk show host and on-camera personality\, producing show topics as well as interviewing guests for his public affairs radio talk show and podcasts. \nwww.markfarrellmotivation.com \nBrian Switzer\nBrian Switzer is the access technology instructor at Career Launch @ Perkins\, a first-of-its kind program designed to give visually diverse young adults the skills\, experience and support they need to land career-track jobs.\nA high school math teacher earlier in his career\, Brian became interested in access tech after losing his own vision.
