Frank shares the challenges he faced growing up, from bullying and struggles with reading to being told he would never drive a car. He also talks about adapting to technology, working in politics with a vision impairment, and the importance of resilience, inclusion, and finding another way forward. This is a powerful conversation about disability, determination, and embracing what makes us different.
