Leadership Lessons: Finding My Place in Baltimore

iCantCU Podcast

In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about my recent trip to Baltimore for a National Federation of the Blind leadership seminar. The travel down was rough—high winds, delayed trains, and a soaked suitcase—but once I got there, it was an incredible few days. I met fantastic people from all over the country, learned a ton, and left feeling inspired (and maybe a little intimidated) by how sharp some of these folks are.

I also get into how the trip lit a fire under me to do more back home in Pennsylvania. That’s where Federation Focus comes in—a new weekly video series I started to keep everyone updated on what’s happening in the affiliate. I walk through how that came together and all the other NFB-related stuff I’ve been working on, from graphics to fundraising letters to podcast editing.
