🎙️ Remarkable World Commentary Episode #115: Ask Advocate Donna https://donnajodhan.com/rwc-10-02-2026/ In this practical episode of Remarkable World Commentary, Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA presents her October Ask Advocate Donna, opening with one of her favorite quotes, by an unknown author: speak in such a way that others love to listen to you, and listen in such a way that others love to speak to you. Her word game sets complacent against active, arguing that complacency leaves little room for advocacy while being active makes room for it, and then turns to in kind and unkind, wondering whether being cruel to be kind applies to the pair. Donna then shares three listener stories, asking of each what advocacy is, who gets involved, why it is necessary, how and when. A mother, Emily, told a desk agent that her son Emil was vision impaired to get a discounted pass, and Emil's friends spoke up; Donna calls this counter-advocacy and says using a disability to gain an advantage is not right. Rico was fined after his service dog left hair in an Uber; Donna says Uber must accept service dogs and should be called out, with Rico going from the company to a lawyer and social media. Finally, a medical assistant at a lab refused to help a vision-impaired patient undress and asked the patient's friend to do it; Donna says that was very wrong and advises reporting it to the doctor and then the medical association.

Jodhan, your Ask An Advocate host. Second episode for the month of October. Thank you everyone for joining me today, and thank you for responding to my call for your thoughts, your words, your comments, your feedback. Okay? So continue writing to me at donnajodhan@gmail.com, okay? donnajodhan@gmail.com and keep on listening. You never know what you might come across in any of my podcasts and we go from there. All right, so let me start off today with one of my favorite quotes. And here goes: Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you, and listen in such a way that others love to speak to you. Unfortunately, this author is unknown. Now let's go to my word game, one of my favorite segments of my podcast. Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA: Okay? Many times advocates have to choose between being complacent or being active. I will tell you that being complacent in my books doesn't happen very often. The minute that one is complacent, it means that they choose to ignore. They choose to not care. They choose simply to sit there and take it all in. Whereas on the flip side of the coin, you have active. So complacent versus active. Active is when you decide to do something about something. So complacent versus active. There are complacent advocates who really believe that being complacent is a way or a means of support. I don't fully agree. If you're complacent, I don't think there's much room for you to become involved in advocacy. Whereas if you become active, there is room for you. So let's think about it, complacent versus active. Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA: All right. Here's the other two terms I'd like you to think of for today. In kind or unkind. Do you do something to be kind? As they say, it's in kind that you are performing some action or doing something. Or unkind means that, you know, it's being viewed that you're not being kind, you're being unkind. I wonder if the thought of being cruel to be kind could be applied to these two terms. You're being cruel to be kind when it is unkind. Is that so? What do you think? Or in kind is if you're doing it because you honestly believe that it is a kind gesture. Send me your thoughts to donnajodhan@gmail.com. Now we're going to move into the three stories of the month that our team has chosen for me to share with you, and here's the first story. Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA: A parent says that her son, little Timmy, is vision impaired. Why is she saying this? Emily told the agents at the desk that her little boy, not Timmy, Emil, was vision impaired. Emily wrote this story and sent it to us, okay? And she did so because she wanted to get a special rate for her little boy, Emil. Donna J. Jodhan, LLB, ACSP, MBA: Emil's friends noticed what was going on. They ...
