“There are no victims, only volunteers.” – Doug VincentThis powerful quote reflects the spirit behind Walk and Roll Live – Disability Stories, a podcast that is not only growing in reach but also in heart. Recently featured on I Have a Podcast, the show—and its host, Doug Vincent—is being recognized for the vital work of amplifying the real, unfiltered voices of people living with disabilities.
As Doug says in the article:
“I create it, with people in the community telling their stories. My vision is to have a podcast that people who are healing from a traumatic injury can find hope and strength in other survivors’ stories.”
A Story Rooted in Lived Experience
Doug Vincent is no stranger to resilience. A polio survivor since the age of one, he’s faced adversity from the very beginning. But instead of letting that define his limits, he’s used it to fuel a mission—to create a space where others can heal, reflect, and find their inner strength through the power of storytelling.
Whether it's a guest who survived a drive-by shooting and was reborn through purpose, or a bold entrepreneur breaking barriers in business, Walk and Roll Live doesn’t just talk about disability—it lets the people living it speak directly to the audience. No filters. No secondhand interpretations.
Who’s Listening?
While the podcast was initially designed for members of the disabled community, Doug has been surprised—and encouraged—to find that a growing number of able-bodied listeners are tuning in.
“I thought it would be mostly people in the community, but I’m finding a lot of able-bodied people are finding it enlightening.”
This shift points to a larger truth: when we create inclusive platforms for honest conversations, everyone benefits.
Why Walk and Roll Live Stands Out
So many platforms talk about the disability community. Doug’s podcast lets the community speak for itself. That’s the difference.
“I haven’t found many other podcasts that give a voice to the disabled community... I give the members an opportunity to tell their story directly.”
It’s not just a podcast. It’s a movement to normalize disability, celebrate resilience, and shine a light on the path to healing and thriving.
