Using your platform for good with Alysa Goethe
Troy Vincent is honored to welcome Senator Tom Harkin, a pivotal force behind the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and Dr. Matthew Reed, Executive Director of the Harkin Institute, for a conversation here today that is equal parts informative and moving.
Beginning with Troy’s story of his father's inspiring journey of overcoming disability, our panel goes on to explore Senator Harkin’s personal experiences with disability, the evolution of the ADA, and the significance of preventive healthcare. Emphasizing the value of supporting employees beyond work and showcasing how this approach benefits businesses, they also highlight the Harkin Institute’s efforts to create a more inclusive world, focusing on mental health, community engagement, and the importance of hiring individuals with disabilities.
This very special episode is a compelling reminder that investing in inclusivity and well-being is not just beneficial—it’s essential for a thriving future.
"Senator Harkin's ADA work is one of the most important civil rights laws in U.S. history."
"In America, we don't have a healthcare system. We have a sick care system."
"Businesses that focus on employee health and wellbeing are the most successful."
"A healthy workforce is the foundation of thriving organizations and communities."
"Prevention and wellness save lives and money, but we focus on patching and curing."
"The value of hiring people with disabilities is not just goodwill. It's about better business outcomes."
"Businesses that care for the whole person have the highest productivity and best profit margins."
