Accessible World

Longtime DFW radio personality and current host for Zig Ziglar's weekly Inspire Podcast
on ziglar.com, BLAKE LINDSAY will be the guest on this week's Books and Beyond, the
Internet Talk Show hosted by Bonnie Blose and sponsored by the Accessible World.
Throughout the show, blind and visually impaired individuals will identify and share
his trials and tribulations of developing habitation skills in a sighted world, his
passion for radio, his career in radio as a disc jockey, experiences making a win-win
partnership with employers who gambled hiring him, How he overcame the challenges
of transportation, modified the work environment to compensate for his lack of eyesight,
and how he met other challenges of competing in a sighted world.
In his first book, "Out of Sight Living: A Sightless Person with 20/20 Vision," Blake
shares true stories about the challenges and opportunities he experienced growing
up in a sighted world empowered by a family's encouragement that equipped him to
be self-determined and achievement-motivated. He attributes his accomplishments to
a strong belief system, a positive heart attitude, and a fighting determination to
move from self-sufficiency to a life mission of inspiring and serving others. His
is a story of gratitude and optimism in a negative and sometimes ruthless world.
Blake definitely epitomizes ZIG ZIGLAR's premise that “It is not where you start
in life, but how you finish that counts."
