John Samuel – a blind entrepreneur with vivid insight

John is the Co-Founder and CEO of Ablr, he and his team are focused on helping organizations become more inclusive by making digital content accessible for people of all abilities.

John’s passion comes from the fact that he is blind himself, and was often locked out of opportunities in my education, career, and daily life, because of digital accessibility barriers.

Hear some amazing stories of entrepreneurship, inclusion, and overcoming in this episode.

Ablr was born from an exciting joint venture between LCI and Walk West. Its story began in 2017 when I joined LCI, one of the largest employers of Americans who are blind, when I was asked to start a new business focused on technology services – which resulted in the launch of LCI Tech.

When websites and applications are designed with inclusion and accessibility principles, the result is a more usable and enjoyable experience for everyone, and benefits businesses with a larger market, lower legal risk, and greater brand value.
