 What happens when you give people a chance?Our guests this week are the remarkable mother–daughter team Gabi and Mary Angelini, founders of Gabi’s Powered by Special Abilities, a nonprofit redefining employment, dignity, and purpose for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.Gabi, who has Down syndrome, spent years applying for jobs — dressing up, practicing interview answers, and doing everything she was told to do — yet employer after employer told her “no.” One smoothie shop even gave her a full tour… only to later reject her without ever letting her try the job.After that heartbreaking moment, Mary made a decision that would change hundreds of lives: If the world wouldn’t hire Gabi, they would build their own company.From that fire came Gabi’s Grounds, a coffee brand now sold in multiple grocery chains across North Carolina. When the pandemic shut down coffee events, they pivoted again and launched Gabi’s PALS — a thriving packaging, assembly, labeling, and shipping enterprise now employing over 50 adults with special abilities.Their model proves what the world often overlooks: 🎯 Ability is not defined by disability. 🎯 People just need a chance. 🎯 When included, they excel — with precision, joy, and pride.Gabi now speaks on national stages, including TEDx and The Kelly Clarkson Show, inspiring others to embrace their superpower.This conversation is a testament to resilience, purpose, and the extraordinary things that happen when someone refuses to let society limit their child — or anyone else’s.🌟 This Episode is the Final Installment of our November series on The Power of GivingEpisode Takeaways:✨ The real story behind hundreds of rejections — and the “last straw” that changed everything ✨ How Gabi turned a lifetime of “no” into a thriving nonprofit employing over 50 adults ✨ Why adults with special needs lose support after high school — and what needs to change ✨ The hidden gift: how neurodivergent employees deliver impeccable quality and consistency ✨ How inclusive workplaces unlock confidence, independence, and community ✨ Zion’s story: from warehouse worker to cybersecurity graduate — all from being given a chance ✨ Gabi’s fearless TEDx journey and her superpower of kindness ✨ What success looks like now: dreams of “Gabi’s Village,” expansion, and nationwide opportunity ✨ How YOU can help create meaningful employment for adults with special abilitiesAbout Our Guests — Mary & Gabi AngeliniGabi Angelini is a TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, coffee founder, disability advocate, and champion of kindness.
