SCI Awareness Month 2022: iAccess Life
The Ramp. It. Up! Podcast
09/28/22 • 64 min
September is just about over and to close out SCI Awareness Month, Brandon Winfield joins me on the podcast to talk about his app, iAccess Life, an app that allows the user to rate the accessibility of different restaurants, venues, and other locations worldwide. He also shares his injury and recovery story and about living life in the fast lane... literally!
Ramp. It. Up!
Get To Know Our Guest
In 2008, Brandon Winfield (he/him) was injured in a motocross accident that left him with a thoracic spinal cord injury (paralyzed from the waist down). Only 14 years old at the time, he was faced with the decision to either let this dramatic event stop him from truly living the life he wanted or to turn it into an opportunity to triumph in the face of tragedy – Brandon chose the latter. He continued his love for racing in the form of four wheels, entered sprint kart racing, and won numerous events across the country. As he traveled, he realized that although some places he visited were compliant according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), many areas were grandfathered in and never forced to retrofit to accommodate the mobility impaired.
These experiences sparked the idea for iAccess, a mobile app that would allow people with disabilities to rate and review the accessibility of venues such as restaurants, lounges, clubs, and bars...Click HERE to continue reading bio.

Love On A Roll: Garrett Mayersohn
The Ramp. It. Up! Podcast
02/27/22 • 48 min
On today's episode of the podcast we are wrapping up the month with a conversation with Garrett Mayersohn. Garrett is the host of the Love On A Roll podcast and lives with cerebral palsy. He shares his insight on how to live your best life, being in a relationship, and enjoying your time as a single person.
Ramp. It. Up!
Get To Know Our Guests
My name is Garrett Mayersohn. I'm 27 and a college graduate from Florida Atlantic University. I have been lucky enough to pursue some of my passions on a small scale. When I was a year old I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy which is basically a miscommunication between the brain and the body and the nervous system. I've had to overcome a lot of challenges though out my life. Besides accessibility issues, it has been people's attitudes and misconceptions especially in the love and dating department. I became very passionate about educating people and bringing awareness about my disability and other people who live with similar conditions to show that despite our challenges we are still able to live a good life. At the end of the day we are still people just like everyone else for the most part.
