My guest today is Jack Kavanagh. Jack had massive change foisted upon him when, on a holiday with his friends, a tragic accident involving him diving into the sea and hitting a bank led to a spinal injury and life long paralysis. Jack has been on a long road to where he is now, returning to his pharmaceutical studies, working as a healthcare professional and becoming what he calls an accidental activist, speaking out about life with diverse abilities through his Ted Talk his documentary Breaking Boundaries and his podcast Only Human.
Today we move the conversation on from his accident, injury and resilience and discuss taking on massive change. We talk about why he decided to go public with his journey and how he made the decision to speak first letting people know what he needs, taking ownership of uncomfortable situations. Jack is so much more than someone living life on two wheels, it doesn't define him but it is also a huge part of who he is and who he has become and has given invaluable insight into life lessons for everyone. He is the most captivating speaker and a beautiful soul I consider myself fortunate to know.
