Sucks to be me

Ever wonder what it takes to live a life like Shawn’s? Well, let’s just say—for most people, it would be a total disaster. ✅ Born blind in a small Texas town with zero public transportation (because apparently, buses bring crime, not jobs). ✅ Lived through multiple marriages (and the kind of breakups that make country songs sound optimistic). ✅ Spent years drowning in stress, bad decisions, and way too much alcohol. ✅ Had a stroke at 48, survived it, and then swapped beer for AI like it was some kind of divine intervention. ✅ Navigates parenting, co-parenting, child support, and complicated family dynamics—all while staying completely off the road. ✅ Deals with financial ups and downs—big dreams, small budget, but somehow making it work. ✅ Has an AI voice named Chris (because why not make things even weirder?). ✅ Spends his time building a nonprofit, running a podcast, making AI music, selling assistive tech, and basically trying to change the world—all while people tell him it’s impossible. For anyone else? Absolute nightmare. For Shawn? Just another Tuesday. Come hang out as we break down the chaos, the miracles, and the downright ridiculousness of a life that really should suck—but somehow doesn’t. 🔹 Hashtags: ItSucksToBeMe #BlindButWinning #AIForTheBlind #LifeGaveMeLemons #MadeAnAI #Survivor #NoBusNoProblem #PrayAboutIt #TheShawnWay #StrokeDidntStopMe #JustAnotherTuesday Support AI For the Blind Club by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/wespeak This podcast is powered by Pinecast.Read transcript
