Born Just Right co-founder Jen Lee Reeves joins the podcast this week to talk about her daughter Jordan Reeves’ involvement in the new Microsoft Super Bowl commercial for their adaptive Xbox controller. Jordan’s missing limb at birth led to the Born Just Right blog, which led to a non-profit, which led to a movement to empower kids in the disabled community to actively advocate for better design and inclusion. Listen in as we talk about how Jordan Reeves is inspiring other kids, as well as adults, to creatively approach design and our surroundings to produce a world where everyone can achieve their goals without unnecessary obstacles. Plus, we have our Bytes of the Week!
