The Anthony edition with Mr. Corona
4d ago01:19:13Tap to summarizeHello Aaron, First and foremost, thank you for the invitation to join you on Aaron’s Opinion. I am truly honored by the opportunity and look forward to our conversation. By way of introduction, my name is Anthony Corona. I am a writer, broadcaster, advocate, mentor, and the founder of The Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services. Storytelling has been the central thread running through my life for as long as I can remember. Long before launching my own media platform, I spent more than a decade working in journalism and entertainment media, including time with The Associated Press, where I covered entertainment and popular culture. Communication, community, and helping people tell their stories have always been at the heart of what I do. My life changed dramatically in 2016 when I lost my sight suddenly due to complications from shingles. Like many people facing a life altering event, I found myself forced to reinvent nearly every aspect of my personal and professional life. What initially felt like an ending eventually became the beginning of a new chapter, one built around resilience, adaptation, advocacy, and rediscovering purpose. Today, I continue that mission through The Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts, a growing network of programs focused on disability, accessibility, advocacy, entertainment, technology, faith, LGBTQIA plus issues, guide dogs, current events, and the shared human experience. Our goal is simple but powerful. We strive to create meaningful conversations, amplify underrepresented voices, build bridges between communities, and remind people that every voice has value and every story deserves to be heard. In addition to my media work, I currently serve as Vice President of Blind LGBT Pride International, where I help foster community, advocacy, education, and connection among blind LGBTQIA plus individuals and allies around the world. I am also fortunate to serve as a mentor, friend, and resource to many people across multiple intersectional communities. Whether through disability advocacy, LGBTQIA plus outreach, accessibility initiatives, employment discussions, faith conversations, or simply helping someone navigate a difficult chapter in life, I believe strongly in showing up for people and helping them find their own voice. At my core, I am a fierce believer in advocacy, community engagement, and the social contract we share with one another. I believe that progress happens when we listen, when we learn, and when we are willing to share our stories openly and honestly. I would love for our conversation to explore both the life I built before blindness and the reinvention that followed. The challenges, the lessons, the unexpected opportunities, and the work I continue to do today all helped shape the person I have become. While blindness changed many things, it never changed my belief in the power of communication, connection, and human potential. Thank you again for the invitation. I am looking forward to spending time with you and your audience and sharing my journey. Warm regards, Anthony Corona Founder The Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services Vice President Blind LGBT Pride Internationalwww.anthonycorona.com Sent from my iPhoneBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aaron-s-opinion--5920599/support.

Braille blindness & Britta
1w ago01:16:51Tap to summarizeHi everyone. I'm Britta from "Braille and blindness" here in Denmark. In this episode of Aaron's Opinion I try to tell you everything about how seven years ago I was so lucky, that a 3 yr old blind girl entered the kindergarten I was working at. How I got to follow her all the way through kindergarten and into school, where we're about to enter 4th grade right after the sommer holiday. How I try to make a new approach on the work with blind children by the help of everyone around them, how to sometimes make the impact of being blind appear less and how to make learning materials from scratch. All this is this episode and on my Facebook page "Braille and blindness". (1) FacebookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aaron-s-opinion--5920599/support.

Walking down the road with Dave Faliskie
2w ago01:19:43Tap to summarizeHey Aaron, Here’s a short description you can use for the episode notes: Roads Audio is a private social audio app built for real conversations. Instead of posting into a public feed, users create private channels where they can record audio, listen to others, and reply with their own thoughts. It is designed to feel more personal than social media and more interactive than a traditional podcast, giving small groups, creators, and communities a place to have asynchronous voice conversations. Website & links to download: https://roadsaudio.com You can also find me on X: https://x.com/davefaliskie Let me know if you need anything else, and I see your new channel on Roads which you’ve added me to, I’ll be listening to those messages shortly.

Seeing beyond success with Adekunle
May 1601:18:16Tap to summarizeI'm Adekunle Ogumbodede, from Nigeria. I'm legally blind—diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa back in 2008—but I can still see a little, enough to keep moving forward. Through all this, I've seen how we're treated: misrepresented, stereotyped, stigmatized, pushed aside like we're invisible. In Nigeria especially, we're an afterthought—policies sit on paper, never enforced, while things feel way better overseas. That fire inside me wouldn't quit. I thought: why not change it? That's how Seeing Beyond Sight started. It's a movement—and now a global Facebook community—that creates awareness, advocates for real inclusivity, and fights for accessibility so no blind person gets left behind. I'm a degree holder, a digital content creator sharing raw, honest stuff on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok—and I offer virtual therapy just for blind folks, helping us build confidence, drop the shame, and claim our space.https://www.facebook.com/share...https://youtube.com/@seeingbeyond_sight?si=Pf6JMtRjCLQkYcknhttps://www.instagram.com/seei... tiktok.com/@seeing.beyond.sigBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/aaron-s-opinion--5920599/support.

On the record with Shelley Keeland
May 1001:38:59Tap to summarizeMy name is Shelley Keeland, and I would like to share my career story of becoming the first and only blind steno machine court reporter in Arkansas and one of the first in the country in the early 1990s. I am retired now, and my wish is to help raise awareness and hope within our blind community that we should never accept society’s limitations when it comes to our dreams and living a fulfilled and independent life. I also want to reach the sighted listeners and ask them to hear the story of a wonderful juvenile judge who took a chance on hiring a blind person when many in the legal community said it couldn’t be done. Not only could it be done, but I stayed for 34 years. The legal system is constantly changing and remains fascinating, and the court reporters leave a lasting record behind that will remain long after we are gone.

Mind over matter with Nick Yerhart
Apr 3001:33:04Tap to summarizeHey Aaron, Here is a little bit about me and what I do: 1. Defying the "Physical Limit" Narrative Nick’s story is a powerful example of mindset over mechanics. Living with Cerebral Palsy, he has spent a lifetime navigating a world not always built for his physical path. By building a national media company, he proves that physical challenges do not dictate the scale of one’s professional impact or "Infinite" potential. 2. The Architect of "Infinite" Potential He doesn't just teach business; he embodies the philosophy that "Your abilities are infinite." His journey with Cerebral Palsy has forced him to be more creative, more resilient, and more strategic than the average entrepreneur. He uses that hard-earned perspective to help other founders break through their own perceived "ceilings." 3. Voice and Authority as the Great Equalizers In the world of podcasting and digital content, Nick found a space where authority is built through voice, ideas, and connection. He has mastered the art of virtual production because he understands that in the digital age, your message can travel further than your feet ever could. He empowers others to use their voice to build their own "Infinite" reach. 4. Systems as a Tool for Freedom Because Nick understands the value of energy and efficiency, he is obsessed with repeatable systems. His story is about moving from the "hustle" to the "system"—creating workflows that allow him (and his clients) to produce massive output without physical burnout. 5. A Legacy of Resilience Nick’s "Why" is rooted in showing the world—that a diagnosis is not a destiny. He is building a legacy that prioritizes impact, accessibility, and high-level contribution, proving that a "10X life" is available to anyone willing to build the right system around their vision. In short: Nick is interesting because he has turned the resilience required to navigate life with Cerebral Palsy into a strategic advantage for his clients. He is the ultimate proof that when you stop fighting your circumstances and start building systems around your strengths, your potential becomes truly infinite.
