    Nov 29 2021

    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.

  • S1E12 - Emily Ladau -Author "Demystifying Disability"
    Aug 4 2021

    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.
