About this listen
In this episode of the Secret Expert Podcast, we sit down with Michael Plansky, the Founder and CEO of You're With Us!, a nonprofit revolutionizing disability inclusion. Michael shares the deeply personal story of his son, Max, who has cerebral palsy, and how a connection with the Northeastern University basketball team transformed Max from isolated to thriving.
We dive deep into why "college students" are the untapped superpower for disability support (Michael has 180 of them on payroll!), the true etymology of the word "Coach" (it's not what you think), and how he built a sustainable model where everyone wins, students get mentorship experience, and individuals with disabilities get a real community. Whether you are a parent, an educator, or a nonprofit leader, this episode offers a masterclass in turning personal pain into a scalable solution.
