Meet our podcast host … Ollie Thorn
I was injured 12 years ago in a motorbike accident and have a T5 complete injury. I’ve had a pretty diverse career since, initially going into sport – alpine sit ski racing. Subsequently I’ve worked for Back Up and then transitioned into working for a large corporate with a focus on inclusion. I now work as a keynote speaker and advisor with global businesses on disability inclusion.
I love all things travel and it has been a big part of my life post injury. Initially travelling around the world with sport, followed by recreational travel as much as possible since. These have ranged from long-haul travel to a road trip around Europe. I’m now working out how to travel with a little one in tow!
