Overcoming Trauma: Tom Ryan Elliott Talks Aphasia, Epilepsy, and Workplace Challenges
In this episode, we talk to Tom Ryan Elliott, who suffered a severe brain injury in 2014 leading to aphasia and epilepsy. He recounts his experience of how a work event in Las Vegas dramatically changed his life, leaving him in a coma and resulting in long-term disabilities. The discussion focuses on Tom's struggles and perseverance in the workplace, the lack of awareness about aphasia and epilepsy, and his journey towards building a new career in media and photography. Tom shares insights into the difficulties faced by people with disabilities in professional settings and his own future ambitions to raise awareness and secure more inclusive environments.
