Today’s episode features public figure Aaron Baker who is a spinal cord injury lifestyle specialist. He also discussed initiating Adversity Into Adventure which is a 501c3 Foundation. The foundation looks to enhance rehabilitation, recreation and neurological research by funding high impact organizations for disability.
I appreciate Aaron joining me and sharing his journey including multiple bike trips across the country to highlight a variety of disability programs and resources. I enjoyed him also sharing about family life as a husband and father with paralysis.

Below the title are three images: on the left, a man with short brown hair and beard wearing a blue shirt, labeled @Dr.TyeDMartin in a black-and-white tag; in the center, a cartoon avatar of a man with glasses, beard, and cap sitting in a power wheelchair, holding a podcast microphone; on the right, a man with short light hair and a black shirt, labeled @ImAaronBaker in a matching tag. At the bottom, text reads: “Season 2 Episode 51 AKA ‘I was a highwayman’.”
