His thesis? That amputees don’t see the world through, or buy into, a disabled label. But when an accident forces him to question the very meaning of disability, his sense of self unravels. Through personal accounts, interviews with the people who know him best, and profiles from a diverse group of amputees, Jason dissects and reframes his life, intertwining the trials and tribulations of building a race car with his personal journey for self acceptance.   Find Despite the Loss and Jason Schneider here https://despitetheloss.com https://www.facebook.com/despitetheloss https://www.instagram.com/despitethelossfilm/ https://twitter.com/despitetheloss https://www.amazon.com/Despite-Loss-Jason-Schneider/dp/B07SPVF2DD     This episode is brought to you by Living Adaptive  Find Living Adaptive at, www.livingadaptive.comfor more information.
