Podcast appearances and mentions of dan berlin

The great Jack Chen stops by to share his sight loss story and how a simple podcast episode with Dan Berlin turned into a documentary film and bold social action campaign to fundamentally alter the way that employers think about talent in the blind community. Both blind, Jack and Dan knew that their positions as Assistant General Counsel for Facebook and CEO of a large food company were not aberrations. They set out to prove to the world that people who are blind could be successful both on and off the bike, in the saddle and in the boardroom.   The gripping documentary film, Surpassing Sight, parallels their journey of building a team to tackle the toughest cycling race in the world, RAAM (Race Across America), with their equally grueling journey through the employment world.      GET YOUR #DONTWAIT MUG! :: https://amblind.creator-spring.com/listing/destiny-dont-wait-black?product=1565    :: PODCAST LINKS :: For show notes, guest profiles, photos, blog and more information, visit AmbiguouslyBlind.com and connect on:    Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin  Like what we're doing?

Known as the World's Toughest Bicycle Race, Race Across America is a grueling coast-to-coast 3,000-mile cycling event. Dan and Jack's tandem team consisted of physically fit sighted pilots and blind stokers.  This interesting conversation draws parallels from the boardroom to interdependence and the capabilities of blind people.  If you've ever doubted what blind people can do, this episode will challenge you to see those on the blindness spectrum in a new light.  Bullet points of key topics & timestamps:0:00 | Welcome2:17 | Meeting Jack Chen4:10 | Meeting Dan Berlin7:21 | Race Across America18:08 | Beauty Byte With Dana Hinnant20:25 | The Documentary23:53 | Learning More About The Movie25:24 | Connecting With Dan & Jack27:08 | What's NextContact information & social media handles to connect with Bold Blind Beauty:

This week the National Federation of the Blind is hosting its annual convention in New Orleans. And among the workshops on accessibility in technology and talks on developments in Braille, is the release of an exciting new documentary. Dubbed Surpassing Sight, the film tells the story of a team of blind cyclists tackling the world's toughest bike race, the Race Across America.  The two main subjects of the film, entrepreneur and non-profit founder Dan Berlin, and lawyer for Meta Jack Chen, joined Louisiana Considered's Managing Producer Alana Schreiber to discuss the message behind the documentary. They were also joined by producer and filmmaker, Lukas Benkhen. But first, a hearing is underway at the Orleans Parish Civil District Court on the state's abortion ban trigger laws as Judge Ethel Simms Julien considers whether the laws are unconstitutionally vague. But this is not the only court case supposed to take place today. Until the US Supreme Court intervened, a hearing had been scheduled on congressional redistricting.  The Advocate's Editorial director and columnist Stephanie Grace joins us to break this all down and discuss what might happen next.  Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Paul Braun. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz. Our engineers are Garrett Pittman, Aubry Procell, and Thomas Walsh.  You can listen to Louisiana Considered Monday through Friday at 12:00 and 7:30 pm.

In meinem Interview mit Dan Berlin geht es um Magie. Und es geht um Akquise. Dabei fing sein Weg alles andere als magisch an. Er wusste schon am ersten Tag seiner Ausbildung, dass IT nichts für ihn ist. Und doch ist er diesem Beruf zutiefst dankbar: Hier lernte er von einem neuen Kollegen die Magie kennen. Dan Berlin hat keine Ahnung was er werden will und beginnt eine Ausbildung in der IT. Er will mehr vom Leben und beginnt, via Fernstudium sein Abitur nachzuholen. Diese Zeit kostet ihn eine Beziehung und viele Freundschaften. Zur Belohnung reist er nach Australien. Dort sieht er das erste Mal, das ein Straßenkünstler mit Magie viel Geld verdient und denkt: Das ist es! Er stellt sich auf die Straße und scheitert. Das spornt ihn so sehr an, dass er übt und übt und übt und irgendwann mit seinen Zuschauern die ganze Fußgängerzone in Melbourne blockiert. Zurück in Deutschland sattelt er auf Veranstaltungen um und zeigt sein Können auf der Bühne. Als er über Toni Robbins zum Coaching findet, verbindet er die Magie mit seinem neuen Business. Dan erzählt uns, wie aus einem schüchternen Nerd einer der meistgebuchten Magier Deutschlands wurde und wie sich seine Arbeit Schritt für Schritt weiterentwickelt hat. Er beschreibt seinen größten Tiefpunkt und berichtet uns von seinen schönsten Erlebnissen und wie er es geschafft hat, die Zuschauer in der Fußgängerzone von sich und seinem Können zu begeistern. Er sagt: Straßenzaubern ist Kaltakquise as its best. Wenn du schon Experte auf deinem Gebiet bist und regelmäßig und neue Kunden gewinnen willst, buche dir hier ein kostenloses Strategiegespräch mit Dan Berlin: https://danberlin.de/goLink zu den Webseiten Dan Berlin Magier und Dan Berlin Vernetze dich mit Dan auf LinkedIn und folge ihm auf Instagram Verpasse keine meiner Podcast Folgen und abonniere meinen Podcast auf Spotify oder itunes Ich freue mich sehr, wenn du meinen Podcast bewertest BewertungVernetze dich mit mir auf LinkedIn und Xing und folge mir auf Facebook Instagram YouTubeHier geht's zu den ShownotesJede Personal Brand braucht eine StoryDein Personal Branding braucht Deine persönliche Story.

In January 2021 I had a conversation with Dan Berlin. Dan has been losing his site gradually his entire life. He struggled with letting people know that he had issues with his vision but was able to complete his undergraduate and masters degree in microbiology. He went on to have a successful career in corporate America, but ultimately followed his desire of owning his own business. With a business partner, and Dan as the chief executive officer, their company Rodelle went on to become a world leader and vanilla extract. Today, after having sold the company, Dan spends most of his time engaged in various investment and philanthropic work. He is particularly involved with teams see possibilities; an organization at awards scholarships to Blind college students. To learn more about the scholarship program and the team see possibilities organization you can visit www.teamseepossibilities.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/careersfortheblind/message

Marius Bauer ist selbstständiger Business & Lifestyle-Fotograf für Coaches und Trainer aus Berlin. Er ist dieses Jahr 40 Jahre alt geworden und fotografiert seit 16 Jahren, 5 Jahre davon als selbstständiger Fotograf. Er ist seit 2016 im Bereich Persönlichkeitsentwicklung aktiv und hat selbst zahlreiche Seminare besucht, Bücher gelesen und Coachings und Trainings in diesem Bereich absolviert. Er versteht daher ziemlich gut, wie Coaches und Trainer ticken sind und was sie brauchen, vor allem mit welcher Art von Fotos und Bildsprache sie auf Webseite, Profilbildern und Social Media bei ihrer Zielgruppe ankommen. Er hat bereits einige sehr bekannte Gesichter fotografiert. Darunter sind Andreas Klar, Marcus und Leonie Walter, Paul Misar, Andreas Baulig, Dan Berlin, Matthias Aumann und der "Leadermacher" Lorenzo Scibetta. Was kaum einer über Marius weiß: Er hat erfolgreich ein Medientechnik-Studium absolviert und ist auf dem Papier Diplom-Ingenieur, startete seine Karriere dann aber in der Kreativbranche. Neben der Fotografie ist Marius daher auch ein erfahrener Webdesigner. Mit der Fotografie hat er jedoch ganz klar seine Berufung gefunden. Marius hat aber auch noch große Pläne für die Zukunft: Er träumt davon, in 5 Jahren als international Werbe- und Lifestylefotograf weltweit zu arbeiten.

Rayk: Willkommen Dan Berlin. Bist Du ready für die heutige Trainingseinheit? Gast: Aber sowas von… Rayk: Lass uns gleich starten! – Was sind die drei wichtigsten Dinge die unsere Zuhörer über Dich wissen sollten? Gast: – 1. Ich bin leidenschaftlicher Zauberkünstler – 2. Ich bin magischer Moderator und liebe es Menschen zum Lachen und Staunen zu bringen – 3. Ich habe ein neue Projekt entwickelt in dem Menschen ihre Leidenschaft finden Rayk: Hast du noch private Insides? Gast: Ich hatte grad meinen aufregendsten Auftritt ever, ich habe meiner Freundin einen Heiratsantrag gemacht und bin sehr glücklich mit ihr. Rayk: Was ist Deine spezielle Expertise? Was gibst Du den Menschen weiter? Gast: Ich liebe es, Menschen zu begeistern. Ich bin seit 15 Jahren Zauberkünstler, seit 10 Jahren hauptberuflich und bin um die ganze Welt gereist. Es ist schön zu sehen, wie die Menschen aus ihrem Alltag raus kommen und wieder ein Kind sind. Rayk: Was war beruflich Deine Weltmeisterschaft? Was war Deine größte Herausforderung und wie hast Du diese überwunden? Gast: Als kleines Kind war ich sehr schüchtern, war Aussenseiter in der Schule, wurde gemobbt, angespuckt usw. Später hat mir der Beruf, ich war im IT-Bereich, absolut keinen Spaß gemacht. Irgendwann habe ich mir gedacht, dass das nicht alles gewesen sein kann und habe angefangen Bücher zu lesen wie Tony Robbins, Bodo Schäfer usw. Diese haben mein Leben verändert und ich habe meinen Job gekündigt und erstmal eine Weltreise gemacht um mich zu finden und etwas das mir Spaß macht und wo ich meine Potenzial ausleben kann. Auf der Weltreise habe ich dann die Zauberei für mich entdeckt. In Australien konnte ich dann sehr gut davon leben und möchte heute Menschen inspirieren, das zu finden was sie lieben. In der ersten Zeit war ich extrem nervös und habe es trotzdem gemacht. So kann man extrem wachsen.  Rayk: Was ist ein ganz wesentliches Werkzeug aus Deinem Erfahrungsschatz, das wir kennen sollten, aber noch nicht kennen? Gast: Mache eine Reise zu dir selber und finde deine Lebensaufgabe. Etwas das dich erfüllt und womit du anderen einen extremen Mehrwert geben kannst. Wenn man sich umschaut sieht man, dass viele Menschen unglücklich sind. Mit ihrem Beruf, den sie zufällig oder auf drängen von Eltern erlernt haben. Deshalb sollte man sich Gedanken darüber machen. Wer bin ich? Was sollte ich tun? Rayk: Was ist ein Vorgehen, mit dem man diesem Thema auf den Grund gehen kann? Gast: Ich habe viel Bücher gelesen und mich coachen lassen. Was mich nach oben gebracht hat war die Weltreise. Leider hat nicht jeder diese Möglichkeit. Daher ist der erste Schritt, einfach mal aufzuschreiben, was ich gerne mache und was nicht. Privat und beruflich. Im Beruf kann man manchmal Dinge outsourcen bzw delegieren, dann sieht die Welt schon ganz anders aus. Wichtig ist, dass man sich mal mit sich selbst beschäftigt und diese Dinge findet.  Rayk: Kannst du den Prozess nochmal genauer beleuchten bis du deine Passion gefunden hast? Gast: Die Bücher sind die Grundlagen für dein Mindset und damit du auf den Weg kommst, sie sagen dir aber nicht, was deine Passion ist. Diese musst du allein finden. Der Weg ist manchmal anstrengend. Auch die Vergangenheit hat einen großen Anteil daran. Wichtig ist, dass man die ersten Schritte geht, auch wenn die Antwort noch nicht da ist.  Rayk: Kannst Du der Unternehmerwissen-Community kurz die 3 Schritte darstellen, mit denen Du das umsetzen und vielleicht schneller erreichen würdest? Gast: Nimm dir 2 Blatt Papier und schreibe auf das eine die Dinge die du liebst und auf das andere die Dinge die du nicht gerne machst Suche dir einen Partner, der auf dem gleichen Weg ist und tausche dich mit ihm regelmäßig aus Suche dir einen Mentor, der schon da ist wo du hin willst Rayk: Grandios. Lass uns das Interview mit Deinem Spezial-Tipp für die Unternehmerwissen-Community beenden, dem besten Weg mit Dir in Kontakt zu treten und dann verabschieden wir uns. Gast: Kontakt ist am besten über meine Website: http://dan-berlin.com, das ist die richtige Seite wenn du möchtest, dass die Leute noch Monate später über dein Event sprechen. Auf der anderen Website http://findedeinenweg.jetzt bekommst du viele gratis Informationen zu diesem Thema.  Rayk: Vielen Dank das Du Deine Erfahrungen und Dein Wissen mit uns geteilt hast.

Show Summary: Full Transcript Below Daniel Berlin joins Jeff in the Blind Abilities Studio to talk about phase 5 of his Team See Possibilities 7 continents in 7 years goal. New Zealand is the next target for Team See Possibilities. [caption id="attachment_4090" align="alignleft" width="300"]Team See Possibilities walking the Great Wall of China 2017[/caption] Last year it was China and the Great Wall, another was climbing Kilimanjaro, and as you can gather, these extreme endurance events gain the attention of many throughout the world, Alison, Brad, Charles and Dan get most energized when they are able to meet with children who are blind and vision impaired. Each event includes visits to blind schools, parents and teachers of the blind. Over the last 5 years, Team See Possibilities has raised over $100,000 to support children who are blind around the world. And they have been busy working on a Global Scholarship initiative that will launch in early 2019. This scholarship program is aimed at blind students wanting a college education and have a drive to succeed.   You can find Team See Possibilities on the web at www.TeamSeePossibilities.comCheck out their schedule of events and find out how you can support the Team’s mission.     Contact: Thank you for listening!

It's just, we always learn how to attack the problem from a different angle.   Jeff Thompson: For more podcasts with the blindness perspective, check us out on the web at www.blindabilities.com, and download the free Blind Abilities app from the app store, that's two-words, Blind Abilities.   Dan Berlin: For anyone who likes Lord of the Rings, almost all of that film was filmed around that area. Basically we're running around Mount Doom.   Jeff Thompson: Now, here's Dan Berlin. We hope you enjoy. Welcome to Blind Abilities, I'm Jeff Thompson. Today we got a special guest who's taken off to New Zealand. He's a blind endurance athlete. His name's Dan Berlin. Thank you, Dan, for taking the time in such a crunch moment and coming on to Blind Abilities.   Dan Berlin: Oh thank you Jeff. Thank you for having me.   Jeff Thompson: Oh, you bet. It's a pleasure to have you on. Can you tell people what you've been doing? You got seven countries, seven years, but you're doing something that's bigger than just the event itself.   Dan Berlin: Definitely. This started out as a recreational activity in the extreme sense with three of my friends and I looking to run rim-to-rim-to-rim in the Grand Canyon. We did that four years ago. After that, it was so impactful that we decided to form a non-profit called Team See Possibilities. Since then, we've been taking on once a year, epic endurance challenges around the world with the mission of supporting children who are blind in each country that we go to. We're on our fifth continent now, and taking on our fifth endurance challenge, this one in New Zealand. We leave tomorrow evening.   Jeff Thompson: You're going to be doing an endurance marathon. I mean, it's not just around the track 26-miles, this is something quite different.   Dan Berlin: Yeah. We like to find things that are challenging. As any of us who have limited, or no sight know, uneven surfaces to the extreme of trying to run on the trail is about as challenging as it gets. That's kind of right in our wheel-house. We put ourselves in these tough situations and try to figure out how to get through it. Each time we attempt one of these runs, we're learning as we go, adapting, to different techniques of guiding. I've learned so much on the fly about how to deal with different situations as they present themselves, and doing it safely, and really relying on others, working together as a team to do these things that seem impossible at the time. Then we find a way to get them done.   Dan Berlin: Then we try to take that message and share it, especially with parents, educators, children who are interacting, or who are visually impaired themselves, and really say that this is tough. It's hard to go through school. It's hard to think of a career when you have limited sight, but the reality is that the challenge can actually make us stronger. It's just like when we do train for an endurance event, when we do train for a marathon, we don't jump off the couch and run it, we have to put ourselves through all sorts of challenges in order to build up that endurance to be able to tackle the goal that we want to obtain. We use this analogy in taking on some of these tremendously hard endurance challenges, to really say, "It's the challenge itself that brings out the strength in us."   Jeff Thompson: Doing such feats as this brings a lot of attention to it. You kind of relay into bringing attention to blindness, and the orphanages, and people involved in those countries.   Dan Berlin: Yeah, definitely. We spend a lot of time with schools. Spend a lot of the time with children who are blind, and also their peers, their communities, their educators. So often it's about not coming in with pre-set expectations, or a very low bar of what somebody's capable of achieving. Our message is always about letting each individual find their true own self, human capacity, human potential, and help them to recognize that. So often it's the most well-meaning adults in the child's life that put up these roadblocks around them, or guardrails might be more ... to say to keep them safe. In so doing, oftentimes, limit their own self-beliefs on what can be accomplished, or what they can truly achieve. That's what we try to knock down.   Dan Berlin: Professionally, I co-founded the Vanilla Extract Company, been CEO here for years. We actually just made a transition with the company, so now I'm back into a very large corporate environment. You know, the barriers and challenges are there for someone with a visual disability, but they're not insurmountable. It's just we always learn how to attack the problem from a different angle.   Jeff Thompson: When you attack this problem of the trail ultra-marathon, you're not just going to run one, you decided to do two in a week.   Dan Berlin: Yeah. You know what that say, that expression about you become the average of your peers? The real true test of that is to pick incredible peers to be hanging out with. When I got together with this team, if you said the bar was two-feet high, they looked at it and said, "Well, that's the first one, the real one's four-feet high." They're always upping the ante, and that's great for me, because we push each other to achieve things that we're not sure if we know we can do. When we go into these things, we never really know that we're going to accomplish it. That's what makes it so special when we do. This time, in New Zealand, we're taking on the Tongariro Circuit in the north island, which is about a 27-mile run. For those that love Lord of the Rings, if you picture Mount Doom, we're basically running around Mount Doom. Yeah, so you can imagine how rugged that terrain is in the films, that's where number one ...   Dan Berlin: Then, for after leaving the north island, we head to the south island and take on the world-famous Milford Track. For this one, we're going to start by kayaking a few kilometers to the start. This is traditionally a four-day hike, about 33 miles. We're going to run it, actually reverse, to the normal route that's taken. It gets a lot of climbing, and the rugged terrain in there in the first half, and take that on, in less than a day.   Jeff Thompson: Less than a day?   Dan Berlin: Less than a day.   Jeff Thompson: Wow.   Dan Berlin: We're not bringing sleeping bags, so it's going to be pretty cold and wet if we don't make it.   Jeff Thompson: There's the incentive. There you go.   Dan Berlin: Exactly. That's what they say.   Jeff Thompson: It's great what you do. I know you started this a while ago. This is number five out of the seven, right?   Dan Berlin: Yeah, this is five of the seven.   Jeff Thompson: Five continents. Last year you did the Great Wall, and wow, Kilimanjaro.   Dan Berlin: Yeah.   Jeff Thompson: The list goes on.   Dan Berlin: It's great. Each time we go to one of these countries, we have the opportunity to speak at schools, to talk with children who have vision loss, and parents and teachers, and communities in which they live. So we always get lots of ability to interact with many communities, and to really spread our message of ability, and not pre-judging. The whole goal is to just blow up these perceived notions of what someone with a disability is capable of doing.   Jeff Thompson: And let them see the possibilities as in the name Team See Possibilities.   Dan Berlin: Exactly. We want everyone, the individual themselves, and those around them to see the possibilities, not the limitations.   Jeff Thompson: Yeah, just like you said in other times when we've talked, you said, "You don't think about what you can't do, you think about what you can do," I like that attitude.   Dan Berlin: Yeah. It's exactly. I mean, in the workplace, so often we focus on enhance your strengths, play to your strengths, take advantage of your strengths, do whatever you can to diminish your weaknesses, that's so often in many things, whether it's a sport, business, personally, that's what leads to success. For someone with a vision impairment, like myself, yeah, a significant weakness is the fact that I can't see what I'm doing. Mitigate that weakness, find an awesome team. I have three fantastic guides and play to my strengths. In my case, my strengths are the love and ability to do some of these endurance challenges and make that most of that.   Jeff Thompson: Why don't you give a Team See Possibilities a shout-out right now? I think they're great. I've watched those videos, and wow, it's just neat seeing what they do for challenges along with you. Cause you seem like they're either crazy guy, and they're there with you though.   Dan Berlin: Oh, sometimes I think I am the sane one in the group.   Jeff Thompson: Oh wow.   Dan Berlin: So it's awesome. We were first started with Charles Scott, longtime friends, been friends for almost two decades now. When I first got into just running, my goal was really to start running and get to a 5k, this was about nine years ago. I had no idea of getting into endurance sports at the time. I was in my late 30s, feeling down, gaining weight, had started a new enterprise, new company, and was feeling pretty low about my physical health, and just decided to go out and start running to try to get back in shape. Charles is really the inspiration to take it a step further and try a marathon. He's one of the main drivers of the team.   Dan Berlin: Brad Graff is a longtime friend of Charles, and invaluable teammate. Brad is our logistics guru. He takes care of everything, packing list, plan-wise, transportation, gets us to where we need to be, keeps us on time. It's absolutely fantastic. Alison Qualter Berna is our third team member, and she's really the heart of the team. Alison brings so much compassion and joy to everything she does, that being out there together makes it so enjoyable. Then the four of us, we support each other. We all have our high points, and we all have our low points. It's all about doing this as a unit and being together.   Jeff Thompson: You really caught my attention when I heard about ... when you ran the rim-to-rim, the Grand Canyon. Like one foot to the left would have been thousand feet down. You ran the ... First blind person to ever do that. Let's see there is South American, there's China, Kilimanjaro, there's Europe coming up next year, but I saw on your list of number seven is Antarctica.   Dan Berlin: Antarctica is the big one. We systematically put Europe as number six, because if the opportunity opens up for us to be able to Antarctica next year, we're sure we can find a way of doing Europe the following year. That is the big one. We haven't determined exactly what Antarctica looks like yet. It's expensive. It's time-consuming. It's a pretty incredible place to be. That is going to be the capstone of this journey.   Jeff Thompson: Yeah, the thing about at the South Pole, if you go 10 miles north, 20 miles east, or west, you're still on 10 miles from the South Pole.   Dan Berlin: I know. It's pretty cool.   Jeff Thompson: Yeah, mind-boggling is what I see this as. You guys are out there, you're a team. I like that team spirit that you have, you talk about, and what you're doing for all the communities, and that you get involved with. You're doing something else this fall, not only running two ultra-marathons in one week, but you're starting something very special this fall, why don't you tell the listeners about it.   Dan Berlin: Definitely. In our travels around the world, we often speak at schools, and have been giving financial donations, contributions to school-by-school as we visit them. We started a music program in a school for the blind in Lima for instance. We helped buy supplies for an integrated school for the blind in Tanzania. What we want to do is create a more meaningful, lasting impact on the blind community, and those that interact with them. In thinking about it, we thought, tackling this transition, for youths, from high school, into college, and helping students obtain a meaningful secondary education. Now this is not for everyone, this is for the students that have the will, and the tenacity, and the fight to go and take on the college education.   Dan Berlin: I know from experience, it's very challenging. It's hard enough to understand where should we go? Where can we get accepted? What should we major in? The expense, and the cost of going. Now layering on top of that, the challenge of having to figure out how you're going to get around campus. What type of support will I need in the classroom? Will my professors understand if I can't see what they're presenting, or the video that they're showing? These stresses are just in the added level of challenge that just requires additional hard work and tenacity to get it done.   Dan Berlin: What we're starting up is a scholarship program at least where we can to help offset the cost of students that want to take on this challenge. We'll be rolling this out first quarter of 2019. Probably looking to take applications by March or April of 2019 for the fall of next year. Our goal is to be able to offer five $5000 scholarships. We targeted it around both New Zealand, and the United States for this year. The long-term goal of the project is to identify and create meaningful pathways for a student with vision-loss, or no sight, through a university program, into a career path, and be able to have mentors, and folks that have done it, that have navigated those waters before, available to help mentor, and just to be there as resources.   Dan Berlin: Again, really, this is when a student approaches a professor in a freshman year of biology class let's say, and can't see the screen, having them have somebody that they can talk to and ask about, "How did you do it?" I think that will be very powerful, and really getting back to our mission about supporting children with vision loss and helping them achieve their maximum potential. Sometimes we get stuck trying to solve the problem when there's a solution, but if we can prevent having to reinvent the wheel every time, that's what we're after. This isn't for everyone, but this is for those that are really looking to get out there and go through a university program, and not quite sure all the roadblocks they're going to face. We're looking at initially financial support, and eventually building this into a lot more peer-to-peer mentoring support.   Jeff Thompson: I really like what you say as a career pathway, a pathway for other people to follow. Like you said, reinventing the wheel, every person that comes along, they think they're the only person in the world that has ever done this, but just like when the next blind person gets to the top of Kilimanjaro, there's probably a little piece of braille up there that says, "Dan Berlin was here."   Dan Berlin: I tell you, I mean, when I take on these challenges, I research the trail, and I look for anyone else who's vision impaired that has done similar things before, part of the trail, or similar type things, and ask them. That's one of the ways I met Jack Chen. Years ago, I called him when I was looking at going up Kilimanjaro, cause I read that he climbed it several years ago. I really asked him, I said, "Well what was it like? What was the trail like? How did you handle this? How did you handle that?"   Jeff Thompson: Oh wow.   Dan Berlin: To be able to provide that level of ... Somebody there to be able to be supportive, and just be that sounding board for a student to be able to ask, "Well, how did you get through a course that's all dealing with quizzes, and clickers, and you have to see the screen to enter the number, and which one you choose?" Little practical issues like that, that are the reality in college today. If we can solve some of those issues without having to involve ... Sometimes we don't like the stigma of having to involve university services, or to make a big to-do about special accommodations.   Jeff Thompson: Sometimes there's just that little thing that gets you past something that you go, "Oh, that's it?" It's just a little simple thing. What I was going to say earlier is there's ... someone's going to get to the top of Kilimanjaro and find a braille Dan Berlin was here, but now I'm corrected, now it's going to say Jack Chen and Dan Berlin were here.   Dan Berlin: Yeah, exactly. I mean that's how I met Jack. Jack is a fantastic person. He and I have such similar beliefs, and attitude towards life, and the way we view things.   Jeff Thompson: Well, you guys did the Race Across America last year ... well this year, 2018.   Dan Berlin: Yeah.   Jeff Thompson: Wow.   Dan Berlin: Yeah, it was the past June.   Jeff Thompson: Two big major feats.   Dan Berlin: I know. Time goes by.   Jeff Thompson: Wow. Well Dan, I know you got to get packing, heading out to New Zealand for that endurance flight. I just want to thank you so much for coming on here, sharing. If you want to read more about Dan and his Team See Possibilities, it's teamseepossibilities.com on the web. Congratulations on the Race Across America. Good luck to you and your team, Team See Possibilities when you head to New Zealand, and accomplish your goals.   Dan Berlin: Yeah, thank you very much Jeff. I really appreciate having the opportunity to share this with you, and the other listeners.   Jeff Thompson: Oh great. I'm looking forward to hearing about it. I talked to you earlier, it was like, "What? You're going to New Zealand? Now what's up?" It's like, wow, that's really cool. I want to say if you get a chance to go onto the website, there's some videos there that just explain doing the wall. It's not just a path, the wall is not a path. There's obstacles, there's some parts that are perfect, picture perfect parts, but you kayaked in the morning, you climbed ... oh it was like, "Wow, this is really cool." There's other videos on there too. Just good information on there, and hopefully people can get a chance to go to your website and check it out.   Dan Berlin: Oh, thanks Jeff.   Jeff Thompson: I'm excited for you. I'm excited for your team. Good luck to all of you.   Dan Berlin: Ah, thank you Jeff. I think this is fantastic. I really appreciate this, such short notice, this is great.   Jeff Thompson: Safe travels man.   Dan Berlin: Thanks Jeff.   Jeff Thompson: All right.   Dan Berlin: Take care.   Jeff Thompson: Bye-bye.

So while we're here I want to take this opportunity to ask you a couple questions about transition and employment and some words of advice. Dan there's a topic that you brought up and it's about people not knowing what they can't do, something of that nature, can you explain what you meant when you said that? Dan: Yeah it's so, it's so true in human, you know our existence, and so often I mean, none of us know what we can't do, we all know what we think we can't do, but until you put it out there and actually try it, actually go for it, we really don't know what their limits are. And so often what we're pushing up against as blind individuals just happen to have it highlighted more than others, but this is universal, we're pushing up against our perceived limitations. That's something that all of us can challenge, that's why this message can be universal, you know beyond blindness, beyond disability. We catch a lot of attention because we're a cyclist who was blind, or a runner who is blind has done X Y Z, and I hear the comments all the time from folks that say yeah, I can't believe you run a marathon, I can't believe you did an Ironman, I could never do that, and that label right there, it's like, you know no, you probably could do it, you just, it would need a lot of work and and you know we tend to limit ourselves quite a bit right there. And it's so freeing to have those limitations removed, just that idea that you know we really can do whatever we want to do, it's just where we're going to focus and whatever we're going to put into it, so attitude, effort, and discipline is really what it all comes down to. Jeff: Dan, you mentioned at around age 30 you went through some vision loss and that you said you weren't even much of an athlete, now I don't know what not much of an athlete at the level that you're at right now means, but could you explain that? Dan: Yeah definitely, you know I started losing my sight when I was 7, and it was a slow progression all the way up through my 20's and by 30 I was pretty much legally blind you know early thirties. I was an amateur athlete, I was the type who would run two to three times a week 2 to 3 miles a time, I jogged for 20 minutes on the treadmill, I go to the gym once or twice a week and lift weights up until I was about 39 years old and then I had moved from New York City to Colorado, given up a lot the public transportation, was feeling pretty down, I mean I was, I was really low for a while, my whole family had moved out here with me, for me to start my own company out here. I realized at some point that I needed to take on something to kind of turn my mental state around and that's when I just started, I started running, I started just running around my neighborhood you know three miles at a time. Soon realized I needed to find a goal and so signed up for a half marathon and took it from there, so I've been running now, I did my first half marathon, well it'll be seven years ago, let's see I'll be eight years ago in September, so I've really started what I would consider converting myself into an average middle-aged dad about eight years ago into what I would define myself more as an athlete now, and it was completely done just by saying, I was going to do it. I joke with everybody, I definitely don't have the genetic gifts for running or pretty much any endurance sport, but I have the willpower to do it, and you know will trumps skills almost any day. Jeff: Mm-hmm, now you also climbed Kilimanjaro, I mean is it just because it was there, or did you go down to your local gym and just start wall climbing and want another challenge, how did that come about? Dan: Well you know it's because it's there. [Laughter] Jeff: Well there you go. Dan: Just kidding it's, yeah that's it, no it was just a challenge, you know was something that you know I love mountains I moved to Colorado like I said about ten years ago now and after being out here, I love being in the altitude, I love being in the mountains. You know for me what a lot of this comes down to is this idea of setting a goal and going out there and focusing on it and seeing if we can achieve it. Part of the excitement is you know is one of my good friends has a quote that he often says "if something excites and intimidates you it's worth doing" Jeff: Mm-hmm, that's a good one. Dan: And that's what RAM is to me, that's what I think RAM is to all of us on the team. None of us are sure we can do it, but we're all excited by it. Jack: And I think it's a really important point Jeff to drive home is, a lot of people count themselves out before they even get started right, I mean they ask the question can I, but they don't say I can, and so I think that for all of us, I think I would say, where our blindness started, our lives really began, and what I mean by that is, it's easy for folks and this is not just cyclists of course, but for anybody to have something significant happen to them, and in their lives, or to be treated in a particular way, our fifth grade teacher told me very specifically that, you know you don't have to work so hard, government's gonna take care of you, don't stress out, don't, don't work so hard in school, because that was a kid who I really wanted to do well when I was younger, and I struggled, and so the mentality sometimes sets in that, well I do have certain limitations and I should really count the costs, and, and for me I've come to the point now where I say, well rather than thinking first about whether I can do something I say, how can I do it, you know, so it's not can I, but how can I? And that extra word adds an incredible amount of power and success in one's life, and that's kind of one of the things that we want to communicate. Jeff: Well put, very well put Jack. Tina, being that you lost your eyesight early on, how did you overcome the obstacles that you faced? Tina: Well to some extent, with a lot of help, a lot of support from family. I grew up in the days when my parents fought to get my sister and me into public school and we sort of fought for every you know, between them and, and, and us individually, we fought for every little thing, and on the be careful what you wish for side, you know there were, there was a lot of bullying, you know back then teachers didn't care if kids picked on us, there was no stigma attached to bullying or any of that, so a lot of it was between that and being military kids who had to move all the time, you just had to learn how to jump in and swim, like essentially. I think having sports and activities was a way to belong and I can remember when I was a, in fourth grade and I had a little bit more vision than I do now being forced into gym class, and the day that we were doing soccer drills and I actually saved a goal and the class cheered for me was you know one of the greatest days of my life. I mean who remembers a silly a PE class in fourth grade, but I do because it was sports was a way do you belong with my sighted peers and I think it's so important for anybody with a disability or, to have the chance to fit in because it's, it's such a big part of growing up in the states and you know, sports, music all these kind of activities that kids do, my parents and my sister and I both, we had to push ourselves to get off the sidelines and be able to do something to belong. So I think you know, doing sports through, for me I'm a very competitive person, so like Jack, I always wanted to do well in school and was sort of you know very self motivated to do well, but it was hard and you did have to deal with low expectations, because a lot of teachers and and people didn't expect much of you, and you know you had to find it within yourself to decide, hey I'm gonna go for what I think is important because, you know nobody's going to tell me. Jeff: Tina what advice would you have for someone who is transitioning from high school to college to the workplace, and has their job sights on employment? Tina: Be your own best advocate. I think that the hard thing about leaving high school is, and then about leaving the education environment going into the work environment, is that the older you get the less built-in support systems you're gonna have, so my advice would be to learn early on how to advocate for yourself and how to dispel people's assumptions about you. When I started at my law firm out of law school there had been another blind attorney who worked there before me and he had left to go and teach and I started maybe six months after he did, and I got put in the same office as he had been, and I remember one of the partners coming in and saying, don't let this firm decide that you are Max, you're not Max, you're you, and not that Max wasn't a great guy and had a lot of you know great talents, and, and nothing against him, but you have to overcome people's assumptions that either, they know what's best for you, or whatever some other blind person did is what you do. So I would say learn how to self-advocate and learn how to recognize people's assumptions for what they are because sometimes you won't necessarily see them unless you're on the lookout for it. Jeff: That's a great point, how about you Jack? Jack: One of the things that's absolutely key is to find people who have done this thing, whatever it is that you're doing before you, if that's possible. And one of the great things that I've also been involved with is creating a network of people who have incredible talents who have disabilities. It's called Lime Connect and its motto is to "rebrand disability through achievement" and one of the the great things about this organization is there are ten thousand, ten thousand plus other people out there who have disabilities who are doing what you're doing, and who can act as a resource, and you know when you go to your first job interview and they ask you a question that you don't know how to answer, like for example they come to you and say, hey, well how are you going to draw this drawing? Well you go back to your network and you say, hey guys, anyone else face this issue, how did you deal with it? And just being empowered by having this as a resource is incredible, incredibly valuable I think. I know I didn't have that when I was growing up but, sounds like Tina didn't have that when she was growing up, but now there are resources available just, you know, quote unquote click of a mouse. You can find people who are similarly situated with you or people who've gone before you so, finding those individuals who know what you're going through and can help give you some advice and some support along the way, that our resources are out there, so go find it. Jeff: Dan, I know these are two tough people to follow, but you want to give it a shot? Dan: Tell me about it. [Laughter] Yeah sure I mean, I have a little bit different perspective too because I lost my vision a little later in life so I was into my career and working hard at it. I hid it for years you know kind of that fake it to you make it mentality, and then I had an epiphany at one point, I had this whole change in attitude that was so great for me, and the advice I would give to someone is to be yourself you know just be comfortable in your own skin, you know at the end of the day, you are who you are and nobody can change that. The second thing is, with that in mind, don't be afraid to ask for help. You know if you need some help, if you need to tap into your resources, if you need to ask somebody, hey can you tell me where this is, don't be afraid to ask. The third thing is, use the limitation as your advantage, you know, one of the things that whether we like it or not, and it's just what Tina was alluding to here is, the standards are set lower for people with disabilities. So not that, we have we do not have to live up to these standards, but that's our benchmark now. So it gives us the opportunity to achieve above and beyond these standards, so look at this as an opportunity. Opportunity that the shackles are off, my expectations are low on what I'm going to do, so I'm just going to blow it out of the water. Because my my downsides of being wrong is quite minimal, so take advantage of that, you know just go for it! Tina: I would sort of add to that I, I think the one thing that sometimes you know I let for me or discourage me as, you know as I said before people are always making assumptions about you and the first thing they're going to make an assumption based on, is that you're blind or differently-abled, and so much of the time I mean, you don't know how many times I get on to public transit and somebody says, do you know what stop you're going to? As though I would get my fare card, dress up and work clothes, and get on the train having no idea what stop I wanted to go to, [Laughter] So it's it's sort of like half the world assumes that you're feeble-minded, and then a quarter of the world assumes that you're some sort of superhuman like you must have Steve Austin bionic man hearing and of you know computer chip implant for a memory because you actually get up and function in the world, so a lot of the time I just have to remind myself not to let either of those assumptions you know, or people say like, oh well you're just so much more doggin and determined because you do your sports, it's like well no, I'm not a Superman, I'm not a bionic woman, I don't have a Harry Potter time turner so I can do twice as much training as anybody, I'm just a person who doesn't see, and so when you strip away a lot of the assumptions, you have to remind yourself, like I'm not as great as some of them think and I am not as feeble-minded as some of them think I am. But you have to I think really look to your own self to try to decide where your self-worth comes from because assumptions that a lot of people make about you are so bogus and so out of hand that if you listen to them you'll drive yourself crazy. Dan: To put that into you know perspective too, in our modern capitalistic business world here too, I would love nothing better than all my competition to underestimate what we as a company are capable of doing, and then you get out there and you just outperform it. It's one of the classic mistakes that people make you know in life and in business, and it's one of those things where we again can turn the disability, we could turn the perceptions others have of us into a positive. Jeff: That's great, turn it into a positive! [Music] Such a great opportunity to talk to Jack, Dan, and Tina, team Sea to Sea in the Race Across America this summer. That's Ram, Race Across America, we'll be covering it, stay tuned, and such a great thing that they shared such great advice, such transferable advice, it's not just for school, not for employment, but life itself that they shared with us today. Thanks for listening to this episode of Job Insights Extra and be sure to check Job Insights on the Blind Abilities Network. We hope you enjoyed, and until next time, bye bye. [Music] [Multiple voices] When we share what we see through each other's eyes, we can then begin to bridge the gap between the limited expectations and the realities of blind abilities.

Team See Possibilities with Blind Endurance Athlete Dan BerlinOver the course of twenty years, Dan gradually lost his eyesight from cone-rod dystrophy. He struggled with the limitations of his new reality, but instead of simply feeling sorry for himself, he came up with a new way to approach the rest of his life. He decided, despite his blindness, to become a marathoner. Dan has since run twelve marathons, including NYC and Boston, completed two Half Ironman triathlons, completed the Rim to Rim to Rim: running across the Grand Canyon and back nonstop. He is the first blind person ever to complete this intimidating challenge. His most recent accomplishment was making history by being the first blind athlete to complete the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in a single day.
