In this special year-end episode of Investing in Accessibility, hosts Kelvin Crosby and Chris Maher take a moment to reflect, celebrate, and look ahead.
As 2025 comes to a close, Kelvin and Chris revisit highlights from the podcast’s first full year—25 episodes featuring entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and innovators who are shaping a more accessible and inclusive world. From memorable guest conversations and shared laughs to meaningful moments of vulnerability and growth, this episode is about more than a recap—it’s about momentum.
The conversation also pulls back the curtain on Samaritan Partners’ progress, including recent investments across disability tech, inclusive employment, mental health, fintech, and accessible tourism. Chris breaks down what it means to invest in accessibility, who can invest, and why accessibility is increasingly not just the right thing to do—but smart business.
Looking ahead to 2026, Kelvin and Chris preview what’s next for the podcast, including the upcoming Accelerator Series, live recordings from CES, appearances at major conferences, and continued growth in the accessibility ecosystem. They also share personal reflections—from entrepreneurship and partnership journeys to creativity, healing, and finding purpose through service.
This episode is a heartfelt wrap-up of an incredible year and an invitation to keep moving forward—together.
