Simon Darcy (C4 Spinal Cord Injury Surfing Accident) | #25

Get your notes ready, this episode isn’t just a ‘school of thought’, but a whole EDUCATION on disability. This week’s guest on ListenABLE with Dylan Alcott and Angus O’Loughlin is Simon Darcy; a Professor at the UTS Business School & University of Technology Sydney. A surfing accident in the 80’s left Simon with a high-level spinal cord injury and with the physical change to his body a career path was discovered that didn’t stop his ambitious attitude to educate and inspire. Simon is the co-author of: "Benchmark Games: Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games; Accessible Tourism: Concepts and Issues" & "Best Practice in Accessible Tourism: Inclusion, Disability, Ageing Population and Tourism; and Managing the Paralympics". This is what a podcast sounds like when you’ve had 30 years in the seat, literally! Twitter: @simon_darcySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
