In this powerful episode, we sit down with Nicolas Comstock — host of the Nick Speaks Podcast — for an honest and deeply personal conversation about resilience, independence, and finding purpose.

Nicolas shares what it was like growing up with an identical twin brother who was not born with a disability, and how that dynamic shaped his childhood and identity. He opens up about the challenges he faced in school and how the education system ultimately failed to provide the support he needed to succeed.

In a bold step toward independence, Nicolas made the difficult decision to move out and live on his own — despite his parents’ fears that he would not survive without their support. He talks candidly about the obstacles he faced trying to build a life independently, including being labeled “unemployable” and the broader lack of employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Our conversation also touches on Nicolas’s time attending First Baptist Church of Hammond, which was later featured in the documentary Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals. Nicolas shares his personal perspective and experiences during that time.

But Nicolas’s story is ultimately one of determination and purpose. Through his podcast, Nick Speaks Podcast, he has found a platform to speak openly about disability, life, and advocacy. After a TikTok Reel unexpectedly went viral, Nicolas gained over 77,000 followers — proving that authentic voices still resonate.

We close the episode with a candid discussion about dating, relationships, and the often unspoken challenges people with disabilities face when it comes to connection and companionship.

This is a real, raw conversation about independence, identity, faith, opportunity, and the everyday realities of living with a disability.

A powerful story you won’t want to miss.

In this powerful episode of the WABC Show, we sit down with current Heavyweight Wheelchair Boxing Champion Jody Bennet, alongside WABC Founder Collin and CFO Terry, for an inside look at the momentum building behind the World Adaptive Boxing Council.

Joining us from the UK, Collin — a former semi-pro rugby player — shares the vision that sparked the creation of WABC and how adaptive boxing is carving out its rightful place on the global stage. Terry, a former Paralympian, brings his elite-level experience to the conversation as he discusses the current state of the organization, what legitimacy and structure mean for adaptive combat sports, and previews a major boxing event coming this fall that promises to elevate wheelchair boxing to new heights.

Champion Jody Bennet speaks candidly about representing the sport at the highest level, the hunger among athletes worldwide, and the growing push to see wheelchair boxing included in the Paralympic Games. The trio dives into the future of adaptive boxing, the pathway to international recognition, and what it will take to build a sustainable competitive platform for athletes.

Most importantly, they open the door to the next generation. If you’re interested in adaptive sports or think you have what it takes to step into the ring, Jody shares how to get connected, receive guidance, and even try out for the WABC boxing team.

This episode is about more than sport — it’s about access, opportunity, and building a movement.

In this powerful and down-to-earth episode, we sit down with Lelan for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like three friends talking beside the tailgate after a long day.

At 22 years old, Leland’s life changed in an instant when an accident left him paralyzed from the T4 level down. He shares what those early days were really like, including his inpatient rehab experience at TIRR Memorial Hermann — the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the mental battle that begins long before the physical healing feels complete.

We also talk about something that isn’t discussed enough: relationships after injury. Leland opens up about his wife leaving him post-injury and the reality that many people face significant relationship loss after a life-altering event. It’s raw. It’s honest. And it’s real.

From there, the conversation shifts into life now — his current wheelchair setup, the benefits of a titanium frame versus aluminum, and how the right equipment can mean freedom, efficiency, and independence. But beyond the gear talk, we dig into something deeper: dealing with life on life’s terms. Lelan reflects on what was harder to navigate — the mental adjustments or the physical changes — and how resilience isn’t about pretending things are easy, but choosing to keep going anyway.

This episode is authentic, vulnerable, and hopeful. And it’s a reminder that while injury can change your circumstances, it doesn’t have to define your identity.
