S1E13 - Anthony Ferraro: Raised for Independence

In this episode, we sit down with Anthony Ferraro for a personal conversation about family, independence, and growing up blind.

Anthony shares how his family shaped his confidence and expectations from an early age, encouraging independence rather than limitation. We explore what it means to grow up blind in a world full of assumptions, and how early support and mindset play a critical role in building resilience and self-belief.

This conversation goes beyond technology to focus on lived experience, personal growth, and why accessibility starts with how people are raised, supported, and empowered.

Topics include:

• Growing up blind and being raised for independence

• The role of family in shaping confidence and opportunity

• Challenging assumptions about blindness

• Why lived experience matters in accessibility
