The Secret Lives of Little People - Feat. John Ferguson

In this episode we sit down with influencer John Ferguson to dive into life as a little person with raw honesty and humor. John shares his perspective on the word midget - why he’s not personally offended but still pushes against its use for the sake of his community. He opens up about his first little person convention at just 4 years old, navigating health realities and life expectancy, and how his speech impediment shaped him.

We also get into surprising advantages of being small, the dumbest assumptions strangers have made about his abilities, and even the wild story of a little person threesome. John doesn’t shy away from the ups and downs - and proves how turning disadvantages into strengths has worked in his favor.
