The Shut Up ShowBeing Different and Awesome with Living One-Handed Blogger Ryan Haack - Episode 106I’ve had a lot of people in my life tell me to stop what I'm doing and go get a real job. Often, my response to that was, "Telling me to stop doing this work is like you telling me to cut off my left arm." After the conversation I had with to today's featured guest, I will rethink my mantra now. I got to talk to Ryan Haack, a dad, speaker and blogger who was born missing his left forearm.

Recently, I had the good fortune of speaking with Maysoon and I’m so proud to share our discussion with you!
Our discussion runs the gamut, from our experience growing-up “different” to the struggle for “disabled” actors in Hollywood and what can be done to change the landscape, to Maysoon’s work with children in Palestine and he...2014-03-3155 minPodcasting One-HandedJoe Rogers: Podcasting One-Handed EP9The sports bug bit Joe Rogers early.
Born into a hockey family in a hockey state (Michigan), Joe started early and knew by age 9 he would be playing Division I college hockey. A lofty goal for any boy in America, it was especially gutsy for Joe. Born with a limb-difference, Joe’s parents had no idea what he’d be able to accomplish, though they were supportive every step of the way (and continue to be). Joe is finishing his senior year at the University of Notre Dame where he’s been a back-up goaltender to one...2014-03-2547 minPodcasting One-HandedJudith Caseley: Podcasting One-Handed EP8Subscribe to Podcasting One-Handed on iTunes here
A while back I got a text from my friend Erin.
Erin is an elementary school teacher and she had just read a book called Harry and Willy and Carrothead with one of her students. She thought I would like it.
She was right.
When I saw her text, I was like, “How have I not heard of this book?!” Well, author and illustrator Judith Caseley wrote Harry and Willy and Carrothead back in 1991, so I was fourteen at the time. Mystery solved...2013-12-0123 minPodcasting One-HandedNicole Kelly: Podcasting One-Handed EP 7Back in September, the limb-different community tuned in to the Miss America pageant to see if Miss Iowa, Nicole Kelly, would win.

Even so, we have many similarities, including a reliance on humor to get us through! Also, she has an Australian accent, so…there’s that. We have a great conversation about her story, prosthetics, how she deals with people who stare and her incredible invention, the 1-Up hair tie!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, actually. In fact, I went to school for radio and TV broadcasting back in 1997, so this is kind of a rekindling of that passion. And I have way more control than when I was working overnights at an AM radio station!
My hope for this podcast is for it to be fun, interesting and helpful. In future...2013-03-091h 13
