How 2012 Changed Our Lives

Ade Adeptian’s story is about momentum built over years of pushing against limits. In this episode, Ade reflects on growing up with a disability in a world that often set expectations for him before he could set them for himself. From school to sport to social spaces, he learned early that progress would require belief, adaptability, and a willingness to keep showing up when the path wasn’t straightforward.

His golden moment came when that persistence met opportunity, whether representing his country in wheelchair basketball or stepping into television presenting. It wasn’t just a milestone on paper; it was proof that he belonged in spaces he was never expected to reach. That moment carried the weight of years of effort, frustration, and self-trust, and marked a shift in how Ade saw both himself and what was possible.

Ade also talks about using his platform to challenge assumptions, push for inclusion, and open doors for others who don’t often see themselves represented. This conversation is about ambition shaped by experience, the long road before breakthrough moments, and how success can become a tool for impact far beyond yourself.
