Episode: 113

Today's guest on Your Purposeful Life with Adrian Starks is multimedia journalist, motivational speaker and advocate and inclusion expert for people with disabilities, Kevin McShan.

Join us on this episode as I speak with guest Kevin McShan who has spastic quadriplegia and shares his journey. Both he and his twin had it but Kevin unlike his twin was not able to grow out of it. Instead Kevin learned to grow forward with it  and that didn’t stop him from championing for the disabled and moving the needle of progress for inclusion.


"WE MUST MOVE THE NEEDLE OF PROUGRESS FORWARD"- Kevin McShan

Side note: Kevin and I chatted about some football favorites towards the end of our conversation, and it was full of laughs!
