Episode description
Sue Stockdale talks to Felipe Saldarriaga, a stroke survivor and entrepreneur from Medellin, Colombia about he adapted to this life changing situation.
At age 11 he was left having to survive in a wheelchair with a full left side paralysis due to an unexpected and unexplainable stroke. As a result of this he had to learn to walk again and basically hack his way through life to get the most of it. His story is inspiring, and a compelling listen.
Today, at 30 years old, he's still recovering from the paralysis but has travelled to four continents, worked with an Academy award-winning producer doing feature film in Argentina, has organised conferences, art and music festivals for thousands of people and even learned to scuba dive, a lifelong dream of his. He's the cofounder at Discovery Talks, a qualitative research software that helps people gain valuable insights from their conversations.
