Ep. 52: Daniel Curtis on Pay It Forward, plus some Myers-Briggs personality-test talk

We get to know Daniel Curtis, who, in 2011, slipped while diving in his backyard pool, resulting in a vertebrae injury that left him paralyzed. Two months after the accident, his family and friends in the food and hospitality industry put together an event called Pay It Forward to raise money for the Lone Star Paralysis Foundation. The annual event, which to date has garnered $360,000 to help others, too, continues this year on Aug. 2. Curtis talked about how his life has changed since the accident and why the local nonprofits that support quadriplegics and paraplegics are crucial in the recovery process. PLUS: Personality type tests have been around for decades; the Myers-Briggs test goes back all the way to World War II. Does that mean they can help us pick the right bar in Austin today? That’s the idea behind a recent post about finding the right bar for your Myers-Briggs personality type. Austin360’s Eric Webb discusses why people still love this test and why Austin was recently deemed an ENFP. And in "A Toast " we celebrate Mike Birbiglia's move about improv people, "Don’t Think Twice," the new season of Netflix's "GLOW" and Bo Burnham’s debut film, "Eighth Grade." And don't forget: to celebrate the podcast's first birthday, we’re hosting a meetup Aug. 1 at Indian Roller, 10006 Manchaca Road. The party starts at 6:30 p.m., and it’s free to get in.
