Davina Douthard, Executive Producer and CEO of PTP, shares the inspiration behind the podcast: "I have helped individuals with disabilities find employment since 1998. During that time, I recognized most people severely underestimated them by focusing on limitations. Although PTP is outstanding at job placement, placing nearly 300 clients in direct competitive employment in over a year, I had clients who wanted to work in the entertainment industry. However, the support systems available don't favor the entertainment industry's gig economy, so I set out to help clients find training and employment opportunities in film and television."
