Can a person with disability be a genius? Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked and devalued groups of people are those with disabilities.

Can a person with disability be a genius? Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked and devalued groups of people are those with disabilities. In the USA, the most progressive country in the world, there is still great disparity in the treatment and access to school and work opportunities for differently-abled persons, especially those with non-visible and mental disabilities.  We can openly discuss the disparity by our willingness to consider the potential of genius within every human being, regardless of the level of their abilities. Our special guest is Dr. Will Moreland, a military veteran and author of the critically acclaimed book Genius Potential.  He is known as  America's #1 Leadership Life Trainer and appears frequently on national television shows to share his insights on leadership, personal development and current events.This is a rerun epidsode originally aired in 2015.
