Bryan Dodge

We are proud to be associated with Bryan Dodge, unique author, professional development specialist, talk-show host, dedicated family man and all-around fun guy! Bryan’s first book, co-authored with David Cottrell, “Becoming the Obvious Choice,” has sold more than 125,000 copies. And his second book, co-authored with Matthew Rudy, “The Good Life Rules, 8 Keys to Being Your Best at Work and Play,” is newly released. Bryan is author of several professional development programs on CD and/or DVD: “Building a Better You,” “How to Build a Purpose-Guided Life,” ”How to Build a Complete Sales Person” and “How to Build a Better You.” He hosts the “Build a Better You” radio show that airs live on Saturday afternoons (5-6pm Central Time) on Dallas/Fort Worth’s premier station, WBAP 820AM. For more information, visit his website at www.BryanDodge.com.

Bryan has dedicated his support to one, and only one, nonprofit organization. That organization is Blind Ambitions Groups, and for that, we say, “Thank you, Bryan!” In July 2008, Bryan and BAG co-hosted the “First Bryan Dodge Blind Ambitions Groups Extravaganza.” This one-day event brought together business people from all over the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for Bryan’s “Build a Better You” presentation. This has now become an annual event. You’ll want to attend the “Second Bryan Dodge Blind Ambitions Groups Extravaganza” in 2009 (date and location to be announced). As in 2008, all proceeds will benefit Blind Ambitions Groups.

 

Welcome to the Blind Ambitions Groups web site. Here you will find information for the blind, visually impaired, family members and friends, and others to help you understand blindness a little, or a lot, better. You will find links to articles, tips, training, support group meetings and many other topics specifically for the blind. You will also find places to chat on group lists and listen to three radio shows for the blind that deal with life issues , employment, and technology. I have been blind for eight years and have been blessed to have friends, family and associates assist me along the path to independence. Blindness and visual impairments are not the end of the world for you or your family so don't live like it is. I encourage you to live life to the fullest. Over ten million people in the United States and over forty million people around the world are blind or visually impaired. We may not be able to help your eye condition, so we help you get your VISION back in a very different way. I remind you of our motto at the Blind Ambitions Groups: “We may have lost our sight, but we have not lost our VISION!”.

Mark Marvel
President

 

A Statement from the Summit

"Through teamwork, I became the first blind climber to reach the top of the world. Even more special is that 19 of my teammates stood on top with me - a world record - the most from one team to reach the summit of Mount Everest in a single day. When you work with the Blind Ambitions Groups team, YOU also can reach the top of what ever you commit yourself to."

Sound of Sight Show #163	Play	Tracee Milsap Lost her sight on New year’s day over seven years ago. She later suffered a stroke, kidney failure, pulmonary issues and a pace maker. She has not let any of this stop her from living life and telling her story of inspiration to others around her. In fact, she is still spreading the joys of her life to those who are losing their sight through mentoring. She visits with me on a candid interview to tell me where she has been and where she is going. Truly the interview you will not want to miss. And bring a box or two of tissues because you will need them from the start.
Eyes on Employment Show #119a	Play	Massage Envy Dallas has been in the massage business for only a few years but early on recognized the talents of the blind and visually impaired as massage therapists.
