- Culture et société
Dave was only 4 years old when he was in a major car accident. He suffered a spinal cord injury that meant he would live the rest of his life in a wheelchair.In this enlightening interview, Dave tells us about life before the NDIS, and how he ‘Macgyvered’ his way to accessible solutions (no, before you ask, he did not break out of a locked room with a paperclip).As Dave shares his employment journey, we learn shocking truths about discrimination that persists in society today. We ask him how living with a disability shapes his perspective on life, then we get distracted and start talking about snakes in the roof. And share several other Aussie critter stories.As usual, we’re all up for a laugh here, and Dave reminds us how important humor is when facing life’s challenges. So, plugin and listen up for another great episode of BeStories!
Be Stories By Be Physiology | Season 2 of UNAWARE
Tune in to hear our amazing guests talk about their experiences of disability. Ever wondered how it feels to live with a spinal cord injury? Or what it’s like to use a wheelchair every day? Curious about how a brain injury can affect someone’s day-to-day life?
We discuss all this (and more!) in our second season of the podcast, titled ‘Be Stories’.

We chat about the perks of living with disabilities (convenient parking is one of many) and discover more about the challenges our guests have faced and overcome.
We feel so privileged to be given the chance to discuss life and disability with these incredible people. Get ready for a stream of honest and eye-opening conversations – with a lot of laughs along the way!
P.S. This podcast contains a number of shameless plugs for exercise physiology, the most fantastic industry in the world. And no, of course, we’re not biased…
