John Robinson: Building a Full Life in a World Not Built for Him

John Robinson was born a quadruple congenital amputee, and from the start his life required problem-solving most of us never think about. But this conversation isn’t about limitation...it’s about the way he built a full, grounded, meaningful life in a world not designed for him.John talks about growing up in a small New York town, summers on his grandparents’ dairy farm, and the role his parents and community played in shaping his outlook. He shares what discrimination looked like in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, how he taught himself independence one task at a time, and what it felt like to be turned down for job after job despite being qualified.We cover the break that finally launched his TV career, the persistence behind his sales success, meeting Andrea in Toronto, raising three children, and why he ultimately founded a company focused on employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Toward the end, we talk legacy, identity, and how he hopes to be remembered by the people who knew him best.It’s an honest, thoughtful look at a life shaped by challenge, family, humor, and hard-won perspective...told by someone who has lived every word of it.
