GOOD NATURE Tony Hartman

GOOD NATURE is extremely back. In this one, I pick the brain of Elijah Stacy, author of A SMALL IF (get it @ https://www.elijahjstacy.com/book-a-small-if) about his mental and physical approach to battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, why he's excited about future treatments, how to celebrate the small wins while acknowledging the "job's not finished", meeting with Bezos, the LA Clippers and MORE.

Emily Ladau (https://twitter.com/emily_ladau) joins Good🌳Nature to talk about her very early start as a disability advocate on Sesame Street, pivoting career focus, her blog and podcasts, and what she hopes to accomplish with her new book "Demystifying Disability" (which I've read and it's great). You can preorder the book at Penguin Random House https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/646508/demystifying-disability-by-emily-ladau/. Emily and I suggest grabbing the book from your local indie (like https://bluestockings.com/ in NYC) and learning a thing or 12 about understanding ALL types of disability and making the world more accessible.

Yumi Shim, a Kid from Akron, joins to talk about living life with LGMD -everything from marriage to parenting to traveling. Yumi recently launched @DearLGMD on Instagram which is a growing community of LGMD patients and their stories told via audio recordings and visuals. We get into quite a bit, including her controversial claim that the Akron-area regional chain Swenson's Drive-In is superior to In-N-Out (which I don't totally disagree with).
