The main goal of the EmpowerPlay podcast is to help persons with low vision know that those dreams that seem out of reach, really don't have to be. "That's easy for you to say" is a catalyst for Ryan Van Praet to share his story. That phrase which is often said to him, suggests that luck and good fortune are the keys to accomplishing your dreams. Ryan shares how he very much disagrees with that statement and fills you in on his journey. The take home is that being passionate, being consistent, learning from a failure and just sticking with it, can go a long way to accomplishing your best life.
