In this episode, Jeff travels to the Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington to meet CEO Caren Forsten and Dr. Suleiman Alibhai, the organization's low vision clinical director—and the conversation leaves him feeling something that can be hard to come by after years of appointments: real hope. Dr. Alibhai isn't focused only on charts, drops, or procedures. He starts with the person—what daily life feels like right now, what has become harder, what's been lost, and where someone is emotionally before anyone starts talking about solutions.   Caren shares how POB's "Seeing Hope" programs wrap support around that medical care: local and virtual support groups, tech talks, town halls, and resource centers where people can explore tools and strategies alongside staff who bring lived experience to the table. Together, they frame low vision as a continuum, not a label—and rehabilitation as a steady, human process made up of small, practical wins, encouragement, and the kind of family support that empowers instead of takes over. What comes through most is simple but powerful: you're not alone, and you're not done.

What do a shepherd-king writing poetry and a blind beggar on the roadside have in common? More than you think. In this Wednesday Night Bible Study, Dr. Val draws a stunning parallel between David's declaration in Psalm 23 and Bartimaeus' desperate cry in Mark 10. The two men standing between darkness and light, between who they were and who God called them to be. One had everything and still needed the Shepherd. The other had nothing and still recognized the King. So, when life puts you between two images of yourself, the question becomes: Do you know who you belong to? Through deep scriptural analysis, Dr. Val explores day blindness and night vision — why some can't see in the light, and how shepherds navigate the darkest valleys.

Dr. Anshu Chandra, founder of the Global Eye Project, has dedicated her career to solving this crisis. Since 2015, her nonprofit has worked to provide free eye exams, advanced treatments, and a sustainable care model by training local staff.During today's episode, Anshu shared how her transformative journey began. After witnessing the dire conditions during a mission trip to India, she decided to focus her career on providing eye care to underserved communities. “I saw how much need there was for eye care and how rare it was for people to have access,” Anshu explained. This realization ultimately led her to Haiti, where the need for care was “so tremendous” she couldn't look away.In 2015, she moved to Haiti with two suitcases—one filled with personal items, the other with medical equipment. Partnering with a local hospital, she established a clinic that has grown into a vital resource for the entire country. The clinic has provided over 132,000 free eye exams and performed more than 7,000 advanced procedures, including laser treatments and surgeries.But the impact doesn't end there. Anshu's commitment to sustainability has led to the training of local staff, many of whom now run the clinic independently. “Some of my staff members are orphans, and they're now supporting their families and caring for their community,” she shared.The Global Eye Project is now raising $300,000 to build a new facility that will expand its services. The proposed clinic will include a surgical center and an optical lab, enabling the nonprofit to become more financially independent. It will also allow the team to continue offering free consultations to ensure no one is turned away.By addressing a critical need with compassion and ingenuity, Anshu is not only restoring sight but also creating opportunities for individuals and communities to thrive.

Reflecting on her work, she explained, “I didn't see a reason why this couldn't happen. How hard could it be to go there, put up a clinic, and train locals?” Her innovative mindset enabled her to approach Haiti's eye care crisis creatively, building a sustainable model that trains locals to provide care independently.One of the most striking examples of Anshu's superpower is how she started her clinic in Haiti. Arriving with minimal resources, she trained local staff by having them practice on volunteers. Without advertising, word spread, and lines of patients formed. Over time, she transformed a rudimentary clinic with dirt floors into a well-equipped facility with 11 exam rooms, advanced diagnostic tools, and a sustainable care model.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Reframe obstacles as opportunities.Focus on the goal rather than the limitations.Start small but think big—break projects into manageable steps.Commit your time, energy, and resources to what you believe is possible.Build partnerships and accept help from others.By following Anshu's example and advice, you can make thinking outside the box a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDr. Anshu Chandra (she/her):Founder, Global Eye ProjectAbout Global Eye Project: Founded in the United States, the Global Eye Project has grown to include volunteers and donors from all over the world. Together we are empowering local communities by building locally managed sustainable eye clinics through education initiatives and volunteer run professional training services to reduce the need for outside support. With your support, we will make eye care a right, not a privilege.Website: globaleyeproject.orgCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/Global-Eye-Project-254480721322382Instagram Handle: @globaleyeprojectCompany Twitter Handle: @EyeCareForAllBiographical Information: Anshu has worked in Haiti for the last 15 years building and advancing eye care for the poor. She is working to end disparities in eye care globally by bringing this service to remote areas and giving them health equity. She's leading our efforts in Haiti and has built a permanent eye clinic in Fond-des-Blancs which provides client care and training for local residents. She's also collaborating with other institutions in Haiti providing care via mobile clinics to address the immediate need as well as working on more permanent solutions by helping to further develop the Haitian ophthalmology residency program in Port-au-Prince. This would provide advanced training and access to equipment and supplies so ALL Haitians can have high quality eye care.She holds a Doctor of Optometry degree and did her residency from SUNY College of Optometry in New York. She was raised in India and the USA where her mother worked as a social worker with under-served communities and created programs to strengthen various skills to make members more independent. These influences have given Anshu an understanding of the needs of disadvantaged populations as well as practical, simple solutions to address those needs. Anshu has also provided eye care to communities in Nepal, Haiti, Peru, Lebanon, Tanzania, Honduras, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Indonesia, and India.The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, is proud to have been named a finalist in the media category of the impact-focused, global Bold Awards.Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

This episode launches the author's new book, Operational Blindness, and reads key sections that show what transformation looks like when hospitals stop treating symptoms and fix systems. It paints a vision where sterile processing connects to OR outcomes, surgeons stop hoarding instruments, and executives can trace costs to root causes. It also gives a precise definition of operational blindness — a systemic condition caused by measurement, reporting, and feedback failures — and offers diagnostic questions and a roadmap (Sterile By Design) for curing it so upstream teams become strategic value creators instead of hidden overhead.

Blindness 101 testimonial: Shawna (mother of a son who is blind) says, "People won't leave being an expert in blindness, I don't think as a sighted person I would ever call myself an expert. Even when Charlie is sixty, but I think that de-stigmatizing is what the workshop's intending to do and ending the awkwardness is the hope, that people feel like they've had enough information and they've had the experience to interact with the facilitator who's blind or has low vision…the hope really is, if you employ people or you serve people then this training is right for you so we're just trying to get it out to as many organisations as we can." The first week of February was White Cane Week and it's important to make the public aware of things like what a white cane means for its user, January was Braille Literacy Month and speaking with braille users is the best way to learn the necessity and value of braille in our lives, plus this discussion with these two guests brings together the perspectives of two people who know that blindness doesn't mean less capable and that we're out here in the world. On this episode of Outlook we speak with Shawn Marsolais (founder of Blind Beginnings and blind herself) and Shawna Lawson (co-founder and innovation lead at Inclusive Experiences and mother to son (Charlie) who was born blind) about the creation of the “Blindness 101” workshops and sister/-co-host Kerrys' facilitator role in them in Ontario in 2026. We talk for the hour together...Laughing over the language discussion and terminology game of disability but it goes further than language (the chicken or the egg problem), and about the value and purpose of Blind Beginnings gathering, what Shawna refers to it as, “a national network of workshop facilitators with the lived experience of blindness,” thanks to a grant from the federal government for a year of free Blindness 101 workshop offerings all across the country (even though these offerings are worth paying for and so these free offerings this year are a definite bargain). Shawna says: "It's so important to have facilitators with lived experience of blindness and that is a big part of the workshop magic too." The Blind Beginnings “Limitless) philosophy is centre stage with this work and Shawn says, "Anywhere where there are people, there might be people who are blind. Train yourself up so you're ready when they come into your program or your restaurant or your store or your whatever so there isn't that awkwardness. It really does teach some of the etiquette and it's "blindness 101" cause it's an introduction to how to offer sighted guide, how to read braille, (just the alphabet) or think about how to include somebody in a social situation. It really it just gives you those basics." Shawn has done these workshops, for years now on her own in Vancouver, for things like daycare worker staff training and medical office assistant college classes so anyone could potentially hold these for their employees or students or members. So if there's any organisation, company, group, or business (public services) who would like to discuss having one of these workshops, please do reach out to either us, outlookonradiowestern@gmail.com (for Ontario) or (in other provinces) Blind Beginnings for more information: https://www.blindbeginnings.ca/blindness-101-workshop Contact Kerry: https://kayconsulting.ca Learn more about Shawna Lawson's Inclusive Experiences: https://www.inclusive-experiences.ca And listen to Shawn Marsolais' previous appearance on the show: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/outlook-2022-10-10-limitless-possibilities-with-blind/id1527876739?i=1000582557754

In Luke 23:34, Jesus prays, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” In His darkest moment, betrayed, beaten, mocked, and nailed to a cross, mercy came out.This message dives into a powerful truth: Pressure doesn't create what's inside you, it reveals it. And when the weight of the cross pressed Jesus, mercy was already there.

Your Brain's Biggest Lie: "This Doesn't Count" (aka: Cost Blindness + how "just this once" becomes your life) Join DEFENSE Foundations before our March 1st kick off!  In this episode, we're talking about why the moments that derail you don't feel like they matter… even when they're quietly shaping everything. DEFENSE is practice for the seconds you talk yourself into exceptions. And one of the biggest reasons exceptions win is simple: your brain hides the cost. What you'll hear in this episode Cost blindness: why "just this once" feels harmless in the moment (even when it isn't) Tight shot vs wide shot: how your brain zooms in on today and hides the pattern Death by a thousand paper cuts: why the small exceptions do the most damage The Starbucks analogy (upgraded): it's not the $10—it's the pattern (and the interest) Stories aren't neutral: every "reason" moves the plot of your life Decide = cut off: choosing one story cuts off other storylines Why some rebuttals don't hold: if you ignore the cost, the spell stays intact The question that breaks the moment: "What does this actually cost me—today and over time?" If you're ready for the next step… DEFENSE Foundations starts March 1. It's built to help you practice the part nobody practices: the moment before you quit—the moment your brain makes the exception feel logical and consequence-free. ➡️ Join DEFENSE Foundations here: — STARTS MARCH 1 Want help deciding if it's right for you?

Why does the day disappear, even when you start with a clear plan? For busy professionals with ADHD, time blindness isn't a character flaw. Research points to neurobiological differences in executive function and time perception, dopamine dysregulation affecting motivation and internal timing. The result? Reactive weeks. Strategic thinking is squeezed out by "urgent." Constant context switching. Strained relationships. In this episode, Dave reframes time blocking as visual decision-making and not rigid scheduling. Why high achievers with ADHD struggle with estimating time The leadership cost of operating without visual structure Using themed blocks (Deep Work, Meetings, Admin, Strategic Thinking, Recovery) Planning by energy, not just the clock Matching high-focus windows to complex work Building buffers and overflow blocks (plan for reality, not perfection) Transition rituals to reduce friction (5-minute resets, defining the next tiny step, clearing tabs) The "Land and Launch" method for smoother task switching **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?

Romans 11:7-10 — The passages in Scripture that refer to God hardening someone's heart or blinding them to the truth can be confusing. This can be a troubling passage and topic for many people because it often leads to more questions than answers. In this sermon on Romans 11:7–11 titled “Judicial Blindness,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones provides helpful answers and a good starting point for people wrestling through this issue. Dr. Lloyd-Jones refers to this blinding as a “judicial blindness” where God ceases striving. There are many instances recorded in Scripture where God removed His control and allowed negative things to happen so that people would learn. Yet there is a step beyond this when sometimes God is even said to harden someone's heart. Those who are hardened and blinded are unable to do or believe anything outside of their current state. Is this a punishment or is it at random? Dr. Lloyd-Jones provides his opinion for how this progresses — in short, that disobedience against God leads naturally to the hardening of the person's heart. Ultimately, he says, the doctrine of election makes sense of this topic that can be so difficult to navigate. Listen as he guides the listener through this challenging passage.

Sounds like… sounds like braille! What does braille sound like anyway? This week on Outlook we're continuing with braille. What does it sound like, look like, feel like? From the analog to the electronic and the hiss of fingers sliding, reading along braille paper's page, it's the music of the six dots of the Braille code we're listening to on another Braille Literacy Month edition of Outlook with a mixed bag of topics with our first all-back-in-studio show together of the new year. We discuss the upcoming year's Blindness 101 workshops sister/co-host Kerry will be putting on in Ontario, with the next episode's guests coming on to explain how these will work, so we're going over ways to demonstrate the six dot braille cell. Speaking of music and the media, we're also talking accessible guitar amps, sound boards, and other accessible devices in our digital world, all while we're joined (in-studio) by a Western Gazette newspaper representative who's doing a story on Outlook, six years on from some of our first media coverage for the show. Kerry and BF Barry share about their most recent Air Canada flight and requesting seat back entertainment system screen reader activation, requiring the flight crew to turn it on at their station, not to mention the wider helpfulness of the crew on this last flight when such customer service isn't always the case. Plus, an airport inclusion update, from customer service to customs officers. Then there's story time with storyteller brother/co-host Brian and a tale of Mr. Rogers, a young blind fan, and a question about the feeding schedule status of the on-set goldfish. This alongside discussion of some more upcoming Outlook guests, including for March's International Women's Day, while looking back on the previous few years of IWD guests, restorative justice, and a CBC Morning story, in the news, of lived experience of a sexual assault victim minimised in police academy student chat logs. From harsh discrediting to quiet inclusion to book reviews and release announcements (with “The Will To Change” and the January 20th release of “The Culting of America”). We're grateful for accurate media representation, with coverage for this radio show/podcast, but we also needed to end off this one by revisiting the lazy use of “blind” and “blindness” in the commonly used language and culture. Mechanical or manual, slate or sheet. Keys or stylus. These are the sounds of BRAILLe and check out a link to the patchwork of braille sounds we found in this Youtube video we feature to start this week's program which our blind and sighted audience can all get something out of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGMsc7G1kiQ

Our expectations often shape what we see—and what we fail to see. In this sermon, Rev. David Buchs explores how the disciples' fixed expectations left them blind to Jesus' mission, while blind Bartimaeus saw clearly enough to cry out for mercy. True faith begins not with certainty, but with honesty about our weakness and a bold trust in Christ's compassion.Sunday Worship – February 15, 2026 (Quinquagesima)Grace Lutheran Church | Little Rock, ArkansasKey themes in this sermon include: • How false expectations can blind us to God's work • Bartimaeus as a model of faith that asks for mercy • Why Jesus invites us to name our weakness aloud • Love, blindness, and mercy in light of 1 Corinthians 13#LutheranSermon #ChristianPodcast #JesusChrist #Faith #Mercy#GraceLutheranLittleRock #LittleRockChurch #ArkansasFaith#LawAndGospel #SundaySermon #ChristianTeaching

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, February 15. 2026 With spiritual sight we receive Jesus as Savior, and with spiritual blindness we reject Jesus as Savior. Pastor Steve explores the mystery of blindness that sees and sight that blinds in John 9:35-41. From this passage we find the unique features of spiritual sight and spiritual blindness reveal one possible response to Jesus. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.

Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs delivers a keynote on Operational Blindness™ at the ORMBC Summit 2026 in Austin, TX, showing how legacy beliefs, broken structures, and low visibility create the costly gaps hospitals keep calling “surprises” especially in the OR–Sterile Processing relationship. Through stories and analogies like cast-iron skillets and NASCAR pit crews, he exposes how Operational Blindness™ allows two departments to run “fine” independently while failing together operationally. He then shares benchmark findings and a programmatic playbook to eliminate Operational Blindness™ through assessments, people development, process redesign, and layered technology so leaders can predict issues, govern performance, and sustain safer, more efficient care.

Sean Callagy went from being a Division 1 athlete to losing his sight entirely by age 40 due to Retinitis Pigmentosa. Rather than letting his blindness define him, he used it as a catalyst to build a massive law firm and now, a revolutionary AI company, Act I, which aims to be the "integrity operating system" for the future.In this episode, John Gafford sits down with Sean to discuss the emotional resilience required to navigate life-altering challenges, the "integrity-based human influence" formula, and why Sean believes his AI agents will soon outperform humans in the art of "causing yes". They dive deep into the dangers of current AI platforms like ChatGPT—which Sean argues are designed for addiction rather than truth—and how he is building a competitive, objective alternative.

In this episode of our Litigation Lens podcast series, shareholders Michael Nail (Greenville) and Heather Ptasznik (Detroit (Metro)) discuss a recent Sixth Circuit decision affirming a jury verdict for an employee on ADA disability discrimination and retaliation claims based on night blindness. The speakers review how this ruling reinforces that night blindness can qualify as an ADA-protected disability, with practical takeaways for employers on timing, documentation, and recognizing accommodation requests.

Today's guest may be one of the hardest working guests I've ever had. Please welcome, straight from Normandy, France, Stephane Schuck. Stephane talks about the music that inspired him as a kid. It isn't your standard rock and roll background. Maybe part of that is growing up in France, maybe part is just Stephane's unique angle on music. He formed a group that eventually came to known as The Salt Collective. But that isn't his day job. Instead of music, Stephane went into medicine. Both hemispheres of his brain are constantly working! He talks about working with some of his heroes with his own music, changing his band's name, and what happened when he was diagnosed with leukemia.  The Salt Collective has a new album out called A Brief History of Blindness. It features Mike Mills, Aimee Mann, Pat Sansone, and former podcast guests Chris Stamey and Django Haskins (among others). It's a wonderful album that you can stream in the usual places or buy it on Bandcamp or thesaltcollective.propellersoundrecordings.com. Follow the group @thesaltcollective on Instagram & Facebook.

Dr. David Eagleman, PhD, is a neuroscientist, bestselling author and professor at Stanford University. We discuss how to leverage the science of neuroplasticity to learn new skills and information and how accurate and false memories form and are forgotten. We also discuss time perception and why it speeds up or slows down depending on our age and stress level. We cover dreaming and the meaning of visual and other dream content. And we discuss the neuroscience of cultural and political polarization and how to remedy it. This episode provides science-based knowledge and practical tools you can use to enhance learning and better understand your experience of life in the past, present and future.

Rob Reiner wasn't naive. He was a successful director with resources, connections, and access to the best treatment money could buy. By the end, he was publicly saying they should have listened to Nick instead of the professionals. They brought a son who'd been exhibiting erratic behavior to a party full of friends. They went to sleep in a house with someone who, according to sources, was in the middle of a psychiatric crisis. Something fundamentally shifted in how they perceived threat.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—analyzes what happened inside that family over twenty years. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story.But the system abandoned them too. Nick was under court-ordered conservatorship in 2020. A judge found him gravely disabled. A licensed fiduciary controlled his treatment. On paper, this is the system working. In reality, California's conservatorship expires after one year with no follow-up. Families can't petition for renewal. The state doesn't track what happens next.A California study found 83% of conserved patients remain stable under conservatorship. After termination? Only 43% stay stable. That's a 57% relapse rate—and the state calls follow-up care "voluntary." Nick's conservatorship ended in 2021. For four years, no one was watching. When he moved back in with his parents, when sources say he changed medications a month before December 14th—there was no legal mechanism for intervention. The system declared victory and walked away.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #ThreatBlindness #Conservatorship #Manipulation #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."What do you really KNOW about Jesus? In this compelling exploration of John 9, we discover three profound journeys that reveal what it means to truly "see" Christ.Join us as we examine the healing of a man born blind and uncover how three different groups responded to the same miracle—some moving from blindness to sight, others tragically moving from sight to blindness.In This Episode:THE DISCIPLES' PERSPECTIVE: Discover why we must become blind to our religious formulas before we can see God's compassionate purposes. Learn how theological systems can actually blind us to the people right in front of us.THE BLIND MAN'S TESTIMONY: Experience the transformative power of simple, personal testimony. His journey from physical blindness to spiritual sight—and ultimately to worship—shows us that personal experience of Jesus matters more than perfect theology.THE PHARISEES' WARNING: Understand the greatest danger facing believers today—being so confident we "see" that we become spiritually blind. Their tragic descent reveals warning signs we all need to recognize.Key Scriptures Explored:John 9:2-3 — Moving beyond formulasJohn 9:25 — "One thing I do know"John 9:39-41 — Sight to blindnessApplication Questions:What's your "one thing I know" testimony about Jesus?Where might you be like the disciples—blind to God's work because you're focused on theological formulas?Where might you be like the Pharisees—so confident you "see" that you're actually becoming blind?What would it cost you to testify like the blind man did?Next Steps:Identify your personal "one thing I know" testimonyExamine areas where religious confidence might be causing spiritual blindnessPractice compassion over theological commentaryShare your testimony with someone this weekConnect with Grand Point Church: Website: www.grandpoint.church Instagram: @grandpointchurch Facebook: /grandpointchurch YouTube: Grand Point ChurchSubscribe to Weekend Messages at Grand Point Church wherever you listen to podcasts and never miss a message that challenges and encourages your faith journey.Keywords: spiritual blindness, personal testimony, John 9, blind man healed, knowing Jesus, authentic faith, religious formulas, Pharisees, spiritual sight, biblical teaching, Christian transformation, faith journey, one thing I knowConnect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

HISTORICAL ECHOES: THE 10-YEAR RULE AND TIANANMEN BLINDNESS Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. The authors draw parallels between current US policy and the British Empire's 1919 "10-year rule," which slashed defense spending based on the assumption of peace, leading to unpreparedness for WWII. Fanell recalls his intelligence experience post-Tiananmen Square, noting the US Navy dismissed the PLA Navy threat while myopically focusing on Russia. Thayer criticizes the US response to the 1989 massacre, where the Bush administration rushed to repair relations rather than recognizing the CCP as a "sadistic monster." They argue this failure to perceive the true nature of the regime allowed China to rise without political reform. FANELL NUMBER 21905 SHANGHAI RIOTS, BRITISH EMPIRE SIKH PATROL
