Your Purposeful Life with Adrian Starks
Welcome to Your Purposeful Life and I’m your host Adrian Starks. I am a speaker, voice narrator, comic card/superhero fanatic, book lover, writer, martial artist, health enthusiast and just a fellow human seeking and creating purpose. On this podcast we aim to achieve a different dialect on the concept of purpose because it is not a one size fits all approach. There will be a variety of guests with various backgrounds and skills expressing their purpose through the human mess we call the human journey in the midst of changes and challenges while finding out who they are, why they do what they do and how they got good at doing what they do on this planet. This podcast will be the guidepost to help you do more than determine your purpose. It will give you the tools to trust and honor it bringing you a greater sense of success, fulfillment and achievement on your terms. Let's start this journey of purpose together.

Never Let Your Disability Define Your Limitations with Kevin McShan
Episode: 113
Today's guest on Your Purposeful Life with Adrian Starks is multimedia journalist, motivational speaker and advocate and inclusion expert for people with disabilities, Kevin McShan.
Join us on this episode as I speak with guest Kevin McShan who has spastic quadriplegia and shares his journey. Both he and his twin had it but Kevin unlike his twin was not able to grow out of it. Instead Kevin learned to grow forward with it and that didn’t stop him from championing for the disabled and moving the needle of progress for inclusion.
"WE MUST MOVE THE NEEDLE OF PROUGRESS FORWARD"- Kevin McShan
Side note: Kevin and I chatted about some football favorites towards the end of our conversation, and it was full of laughs!
