Romero shines the light on Maxwell Ivey, "The Blind Blogger," a blind entrepreneur, accessibility consultant, and podcaster. Max talks about growing up in a family of carnival owners in Houston, becoming one of the few blind Eagle Scouts while losing his sight to retinitis pigmentosa, and teaching himself HTML in 2006 so he could build a website when no accessible tools existed yet. They dig into how a painfully bright yellow-and-blue website turned him into "the blind blogger," why he approaches accessibility through communication and collaboration instead of compliance and shame, why audio still beats video for real connection, and why AI content still needs a human accessibility check. Plus, a rapid-fire power round covering string cheese, Springsteen, corn dogs, and a $19,000 Braille display he's saving up for.
