Episode 102: Special Guest, David Holmes (Big Life Adventure Founder & Entrepreneur)

On today’s show I have special guest David Holmes who is the founder of Big Life Adventure. Big Life Adventure is a fun, safe, and supportive online platform designed especially for people with learning disabilities and autism. It helps you explore your interests, set goals, connect with others, and express yourself – all in one place. David made headline news a few weeks ago when he warned that the new online safety act risks inadvertently excluding people with learning disabilities. Under the Act, social media platforms are required to carry out strict age checks - using ID checks or AI face recognition -  to keep children away from harmful content. For many people with learning disabilities, these systems are unworkable and I’ll be chatting to him more about this.Links:Big Life Adventure websiteStand with Big Life Adventure: Stop Online Disability Discrimination Now: Petition linkBig Life Adventure on:InstagramTikTokLinkedinMy 21andsensory links:⁠⁠Illustration Portfolio⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Podcast⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Blog⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠X⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Patreon⁠
