What happens when a life-altering moment forces you to redefine your entire future?

At just 19 years old, Colin Shouse lost his sight and underwent a facial prosthesis following a traumatic incident. In this powerful episode of Access Granted, Mike sits down with Colin to discuss how he refused to let that moment define him and how he’s now building a career in digital accessibility.

Colin takes us through the connections that led him to Ablr and his journey from the anxiety of "Can I do this?" to earning his CPACC certification. You’ll hear about the "iron sharpens iron" environment of the Ablr internship, the technical skills he’s mastered, and the incredible support system that helped guide him toward a new vision for his life.

Colin’s story is a profound reminder that accessibility is about people, opportunity, and the importance of removing barriers. Whether you’re a business leader or someone facing your own uphill climb, this conversation will change how you think about resilience and the power of inclusive hiring.
