Hello, and welcome to the Heart of Influence With Dr. Kirk Adams Show.

I co-host this monthly, virtual, live-streamed event with Sean Callagy, founder of Unblinded Sales Mastery, a Certified Disability Owned Business Enterprise by Disability-In.

During my service as President and CEO of the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), I recruited Sean to our board of trustees, where among other things, he was our largest individual donor for each of the three years he served.

My Heart of Influence show focuses on disability inclusion. I bring together 7 or 8 integrity-based leaders involved in disability owned business, corporate supplier diversity, disability advocacy, disabled entrepreneurship, or assistive technology innovation.

People that I believe should know one another and can very likely do business together.

Visionaries who believe a rising tide lifts all boats.

It’s better than meeting for a cup of coffee!

If this sounds like a fit for you, and you might be interested in attending as a guest, please reach out to me today.
