Blind But Unstoppable: Maxwell Ivey on Accessibility, Adversity & Automotive Inclusion

What if your biggest challenge became your biggest advantage? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Maxwell Ivey, widely known as The Blind Blogger, for a deeply inspiring conversation on accessibility, inclusion, and perseverance in the automotive world and beyond. Maxwell’s journey began in a world that wasn’t built for him—selling amusement rides online as a blind entrepreneur when accessibility barely existed. Since then, he’s become a published author, keynote speaker, award-winning podcaster, and respected accessibility consultant across industries—including the auto and transportation sectors. We talk about:

• The hidden accessibility gaps in car buying, dealerships, and online platforms
• Why most brands still miss the point when talking about inclusion
• Maxwell’s role as a change-maker and advisory board member for PodMatch
• The mindset strategies that helped him rise: inter-dependence, self-determination, and radical honesty

He’s hosted hundreds of interviews, launched two influential podcasts including The Accessibility Advantage, and continues to push boundaries—literally and metaphorically. 👉 If you're in the automotive world—or simply want to build a better, more inclusive brand—this is a must-watch. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly stories that fuel innovation, empathy, and unstoppable grit.
