About this listen

From carnival midways to coding HTML blind, Maxwell Ivey’s journey is anything but ordinary.

In this powerful episode, Brian sits down with "The Blind Blogger" to explore how resilience, curiosity, and a refusal to make excuses transformed Max’s life. You'll hear how Max went from losing his family’s carnival business to becoming a digital accessibility expert and respected storyteller—one line of code, podcast appearance, and courageous “yes” at a time.

They discuss:

  • The myth of the “self-made” success and the quiet strength of interdependence

  • What businesses really lose when they ignore accessibility

  • How to stop waiting for the perfect moment—and start with what you have

  • The raw truth about self-doubt, comparison, and invisible barriers

Max’s wisdom isn’t about overcoming blindness—it’s about seeing possibility where others see limits. Get ready for a masterclass in self-leadership, grit, and the power of asking for help.
