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. Ryan shares his life experiences at the blog LivingOneHanded.com.
Check out the inspiring conversation to...

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...

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...

She didn’t win, but following her path to the pageant was fun and seeing her on TV, just like millions of others did, made us proud.
I’m honored to share with you an interview I did recently with Nikki! In it, she shares her path to Miss America, her thoughts on dealing with differences and interacting with others, and more. We had a reall...

Kyle Scheele is our guest for episode 6 and he BRINGS IT. I invited Kyle onto the podcast because he helps people, especially teens, live better stories with their lives.

In this episode we hear from Holly Franklin. Holly lost her hand when she was 29, so her experience is quite different than my own. 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!
Holly’s been gracious enough to donate THREE 1-Up hair ties for POH listeners! How cool is that?? Enter below for yo...

The debut episode of Podcasting One-Handed is up and running (subscribe on iTunes here and/or checkout the bottom of this post!).
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...
