Benen and Chris discuss, among other things, Benen’s journey into be a media creator, disability in the past compared to the present, the barriers that stand between a person with a disability and gainful employment in small towns, voiceover careers, benefits of COVID for the disabled community, and reasonable accommodations for an employee with a disability.

Born with Spastic Cerebral Palsy Benen Dykstra AKA The Rolling Dragon has come a long way from growing up in the small town of Cayuga Ontario Canada to living on his own in Minden Ontario. Working as the host of The Sit Down Stand Out Show Podcast and a freelance VoiceOver Artist.

“I was born January 21, 1998 at 3 pounds and 9 ounce 10 weeks prematurely the youngest of three kids. The running family joke is I haven't stopped talking since then.I graduated from Durham Collage with a diploma in Radio Broadcasting and Contemporary media in 2019 and been trying to apply for work as a Voice Over artist, audiobook narrator, and pro wrestling commentator. I created the sit Down Stand show slowly piece by piece until the first episode aired in October of 2022 and it's been an interesting ride ever since.” – Bene Dykstra
