Brian Rust: From Educator to Entrepreneur

This episode features Brian Rust, a passionate educator and entrepreneur. Navigating life with vision loss, he shares how he has turned a challenge into success. As a proud graduate of the Ohio State School for the Blind, he continued his education and has had a successful career in teaching physical education, where he’s made a significant impact for over two decades. However, faced with declining vision and the onset of the pandemic, he adeptly pivoted himself to become a Business Enterprise Operator through OOD.
