Meet Jerry. He wakes to the sound of hospital machines beeping. The ceiling above him feels foreign. There’s a dull ache in his back and panic rising in his chest as he remembers the ladder, the fall, the shouting voices.
At 25, Jerry was a proud construction worker, building homes with his own hands. Now, he can’t lift his arm. The doctors say he might walk again, with time, patience, and relentless therapy, but for now, he can’t even sit up on his own. He tells his family he’s okay, but inside he’s angry, ashamed, and terrified that this is all that’s left.
Today, Jay is joined by Mitch Bohn, a podcaster, broadcaster, and TEDx speaker born with spina bifida, a condition that left him unable to walk. Instead of letting his disability define him, Mitch has dedicated his life to amplifying voices in sports and creating accessibility through his nonprofit AccessBillings. He reminds us that life’s greatest impact doesn’t come from what we can’t do, it comes from finding our way to what we love.
Together, Jay and Mitch explore how to rediscover meaning when life changes your plans, how to transform frustration into purpose, and how loving something you can’t do might just be the path to fulfillment.
