In this episode, Dr. Hoby Wedler sits down with Rob Buettner, Vice President of Relationships & Business Services at Beyond Vision, to talk about leadership, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and where they merge. After being diagnosed with Stargardt’s Macular Dystrophy as a young adult, Rob faced uncertainty and darkness. It wasn’t until he found a community of other people with the same disease that reminded Rob he could do anything he set his mind to, with or without his vision.

From starting a business distributing low-vision technology products to advocating for policy change, Rob’s journey exemplifies the power of perseverance and purpose. Hear what Rob Buettner learned as an advocate at the Public Policy Forum, building strong legislative relationships during his visits to Capitol Hill. Find out why Rob believes in the importance of persistence and kindness for achieving any goal.
