TRAVELERS REST, SOUTH CAROLINA — In a world flooded with curated content and polished personas, a new podcast is breaking through the noise with honesty, heart, and humanity. All Abilities, No Filter is a roundtable-style podcast hosted by a team of professionals who work on the front lines of autism, education, and behavioral health—and they’re not afraid to have the tough conversations.

The podcast is co-hosted by Jake Edgar, Lily Howard, Hannah Jernigan, and Brandon Clark—all of whom bring personal and professional experience to every episode. From IEPs to family systems, behavioral challenges to systemic breakdowns, All Abilities, No Filter is a raw, real, and inclusive space where stories matter and stigma gets dismantled.

“Honestly, it started with a conversation,” says co-host Jake Edgar, Director of Education at Springbrook Autism Behavioral Health. “We realized we were having powerful, honest, and sometimes difficult conversations behind the scenes—and that they could really help people if we just hit record. It wasn’t about being polished. It was about being real.”

152:Here‘s Your C-Don‘t Define Me By Lonnie Bedwell

 Join me as we talk to Lonnie Bedwell. This guy is one of my closest friends, and he is someone I really respect. The first time I met Mr. Lonnie Bedwell was through my mother, who has been asking him to speak to her classes for several years. Lonnie’s resume includes kayaking the Grand Canyon twice, appearing on the Steve Harvey Show, NBC’s Today Show, Bobby Bones, being covered by local media numerous times, and having several speaking engagements throughout the year. Lonnie hunts, keeps his home and yard, works, has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, teaches kayaking, and has touched the lives of millions of people who have interacted with him or watched from afar as he conquers the world. Lonnie is the father of three adult daughters and has several grandchildren. Did I mention that he is blind? Despite this, he has accomplished much. He lost his vision several years ago in a hunting accident, but he never gave up and never lost his sight. He also served in the Navy, so we certainly appreciate his service. I am sure that when people think of Lonnie Bedwell, they think of the following: motivator, hero, go-getter, hard worker, dancer, and someone who never gives up.
