In this week’s episode of Heard & Empowered, you’ll hear an inspirational story of overcoming adversity, and a demonstration of what’s possible. Dr. Hoby Wedler is joined by President and CEO of Bosma Enterprises, the largest employer of people who are visually impaired in the state of Indiana. Jeff is not only CEO and president of Bosma but also a military veteran with an incredible story. After a roadside bomb ended his military career and left him permanently blind, he began the arduous process of acclimating to his new normal and learning to deal with his blindness.
Join the conversation this week and hear Jeff’s inspiring story of survival, and how he attributes his life to a helmet he was wearing that day that just so happened to be designed by one of the agencies NIB partners with. Jeff shares the importance of holding yourself accountable and taking responsibility for your actions, why your circumstances don’t define you, and how Bosma helps people who are blind and visually impaired lean into job opportunities and find dignity and joy in their work.
