In this inspiring episode, hosts Rooster Rossiter and Joe Orth sit down with Billy Price, co-founder of Billy Footwear, to explore resilience, innovation, and community.

Billy shares his life-changing story of a fall that left him a quadriplegic, his early struggles with identity and independence, and how a simple need — putting on his own shoes — led to the creation of a global footwear brand. With humility and grit, Billy explains how universal design transformed Billy Footwear from a side project into a company that empowers thousands, including athletes in the Ainsley’s Angels community.

The conversation touches on mindset shifts (“Why not me?”), the importance of confidence in what you wear, and the power of teamwork—whether in rehab, on the racecourse, or in business. Billy also discusses future plans for expanding the brand and giving back through a philanthropic initiative, Billy Cares.

👉 Tune in for a story of perseverance, purpose, and how a single idea can open doors for countless others.

Joshua Taylor, founder of the Facebook page Disabled, Not Unable, shares his personal journey with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which led him from being a commercial truck driver to a full-time wheelchair user and passionate disability advocate. He speaks candidly about the grief of losing abilities, career, and long-held aspirations—but also how those shifts opened doors to new purpose, especially through adaptive sports and his involvement with Ainsley’s Angels.

Joshua discusses his proactive work with local government in Michigan, including speaking at a City Council meeting (post-medical procedure!) to defend Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts amid political pressures to remove them.

The episode ties everything back to movement, advocacy, and dignity, spotlighting inclusion as a right—not a luxury—and how the smallest changes, like adaptive playgrounds or pop-up privacy tents, can shift someone’s entire world.
