In this episode of Talking Point, I explore how the impossible becomes possible through the power of technology, human resilience, and service.
We begin with Angela Peak, a nurse turned self-care coach, who helps exhausted healthcare professionals rediscover their energy and well-being. Her story exemplifies how personal transformation is possible even in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Next, David Beard, Head of Technology at British Wireless for the Blind, shares insights into the organisation’s vital work. For nearly a century, British Wireless has used radio technology to connect and comfort those living with sight loss, offering a lifeline against isolation. David discusses how radio’s relevance continues to evolve in the digital age.
We also meet Martin Rhodes, who reflects on the joys of HAM radio, a timeless hobby that continues to inspire communication across the globe made possible by screen reading technology.
In addition to these guest appearances, I explore other remarkable stories of human determination and technological innovation, leaving you rethinking what’s possible in your own life.
Among these stories is Eo Davies, a woman with cerebral palsy, who has accomplished the remarkable feats of driving a car, riding a bike, and even sailing a boat—proving that determination can conquer any barrier.
Jenny Tate also shares her journey of how Dragon Naturally Speaking technology made it possible for her to complete her honours degree with the Open University, despite facing challenges that once seemed insurmountable.
