Podcast Series: How You Really Doin'
I feel fortunate to have met Jim during a difficult time of his life. Like my Mom (before she passed away), Jim lives with MS. The disease can rear its ugly head in numerous ways: from stealing people's movement to instigating depression—even forcing them to retire from their jobs. That’s exactly what happened to Jim. Following a fulfilling career broadcasting in-game entertainment for the Colorado Rockies, Jim had to leave his passion behind. Despite his general good nature, I met Jim when he was traveling through a very rough patch. Maybe the universe knew it was time we connected. I approached him to consider launching and hosting a podcast about life with MS. In particular, I wanted him to talk about his challenges because I knew, if he led with his battles, it would give his interview guests permission to share their own. Jim jumped into the podcast with abandon. Through the process, he found his way back to his love of broadcasting, and learned how to manage the darker side of MS. Full of heart and humor, the podcast helps those who live with MS to know they're not alone.
