A Wheelie Good Chat
A Wheelie Good Chat is hosted by me, Sam Cole. I dive into real-life experiences of living with a physical disability.
With raw honesty and a touch of humour, I explore everything from daily challenges to societal assumptions, shining a light on the stories that often go unheard.
Each episode features open conversations and reflections that aim to break barriers, challenge the norm and inspire more inclusive thinking, one chat at a time.

A Wheelie Good Chat
22. First Impressions Go Both Ways
Imagine going into a job interview only to be ignored and talked down to because of your disability. That’s exactly what I experienced, and in this episode, Joel and I unpack the frustration, isolation and deeper impact of that moment.
We talk about the subtle and not-so-subtle ways people with disabilities are dismissed in professional settings, and how those interactions affect more than just job prospects — they affect self-worth. From inappropriate assumptions to awkward silences, we share it all.
This episode is honest, a bit fiery and sprinkled with humour, but at its core, it’s a call for respect, inclusion and better treatment in the workplace.
Thanks so much for listening to A Wheelie Good Chat! Your support means the world.
