The DO Lectures is an ideas sharing event run out of an old cowshed in Cardigan Bay, Wales. In this series of DO podcasts, Gav Thompson chats to people about how they have achieved their amazing levels of success, as well as uncovering some of the despites that they have had to overcome to get there.

In Episode 4 of Being Amazing Despite..., Gav chats to James Shone. James was a successful teacher who in 2012 had just landed his dream job as a headmaster. Then, during a routine medical examination, doctors discovered James had a huge brain tumour. After 27 hours of surgery, James' brain tumour had gone, but so had his eyesight. He woke up after the operation to discover he was blind. Shortly after this, he also lost his job

This story is about how James went from rock bottom to doing amazing things through setting up a charity, 'I can and I am', to inspire children and teenagers to a life of confidence and potential, despite being blind and unemployed.
