Andy Rusch joins me on this episode of The TyePod to share his journey living with Becker muscular dystrophy and the importance of finding community alongside family and friends for support.We also dive into his passions for bird watching, photography, and writing. One of the highlights of our conversation was discussing what it means to write as disabled authors and Andy’s newest endeavor: launching a publishing company called MorganWolf Press! I truly believe this is a vital step in helping our community tell its stories, and I can’t wait to see it grow.✨ Want to connect with Andy?
