When Maxwell Ivey Jr. a blind entrepreneur and respected blogger needed help owning his expertise in accessibility, I gave him the mic (literally). What started as a podcast conversation became a turning point in his career.
The Result:
🎙 First-ever podcast interview focused on accessibility in 2021 helped Max begin speaking confidently on the subject
🎤 Featured speaker at Chris' precious events in collaboration with AppSumo to gain exposure and affirmation from a wider tech audience
🛠 Now consults on digital accessibility for brands like Podmatch, Less Annoying CRM, AudioEye, Tivo & LEGO
🎧 Launched his own podcast, The Accessibility Advantage, which highlights the business value of investing in accessibility
🧠 Went from resisting the “accessibility expert” label to embracing it as his business, mission, and message
The Transformation:
Before, Max was unsure about fully stepping into his role as a digital accessibility expert. Through a trusted relationship, meaningful visibility, and encouragement to share his story, he began to see what others already saw, his thought leadership potential. Today, he advises platforms, runs a podcast, and leads accessibility conversations with clarity and purpose. This is what happens when someone’s voice is not just heard, but *believed in*.
