Theo is joined by Former London Olympics torch bearer, disability rights champion and social entrepreneur, Kush Kanodia. Kush has made it his mission to become a disability and rights champion, and social entrepreneur. Kush has had a monumental life journey, being a London Olympics Torch bearer in 2012 and being a key driving force for change for disabled peoples rights through transforming systems.
He was the seminal figure in removing NHS England car parking charges, which many claim was the most impactful positive change for disabled people since the formation of the NHS. He has recognised systematic barriers and worked with Premier League Football clubs, including Chelsea, to make their stadiums more accessible for disabled people; he has worked on other high profile projects including campaigning for ULEZ fairness for disabled drivers. He also holds an honorary doctorate at Kent University in recognition of his achievements.
Kush talks to our insightful host Theo about these campaigns, how to find confidence as a disabled person and Kush's Outlook on life.
