S.6. Ep. 2: Glide Me Through Life w/ Greg Rivera

Angie and Kimberly are back behind the mics, and this week they’re joined by Greg, who brings both wit and wisdom to a conversation about life on the move when you’re blind. From his trusty cane days, to teaming up with his guide dog Vader (yes, like that Vader), Greg shares how each tool shaped his independence, freedom, and even the way strangers interact with him.

But Greg doesn’t stop there. He also introduces us to the Glide, a cutting edge mobility device blending AI smarts, cameras, and obstacle detection into one sleek package. Could it be the future of navigation for blind travelers who want something beyond a dog or cane? You’ll hear Greg break it down in a way that’s funny, relatable, and packed with real life perspective.

Along the way, Angie and Greg swap stories about public misconceptions, first impressions, and the responsibility of being the “first blind person” someone meets. Kimberly keeps the conversation flowing with sharp questions, making sure no stone is left unturned.

It’s an episode that’s equal parts practical advice, personal storytelling, and a peek into the future of accessibility tech. Whether you’re team cane, team dog, or curious about what’s next, you’ll come away seeing mobility through a whole new lens.
