Rising Above Personal Challenges with Jonathon Feit
The Disaster Podcast crew loves stories of personal triumph over disease and injury that could otherwise be a disaster in a person’s life. Jonathon Feit has Tourette Syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes facial tics and other unintended movements. Ironically, Jonathon had been misdiagnosed for years and, at 19, was working in a neuromuscular lab when he was finally diagnosed. It could have devastated him, but he found the diagnosis freeing.
An intelligent young man, he went on to develop a number of products including EMS software that works even in disasters. Through the discussion, we can see his positive attitude is a much stronger part of him than his Tourette’s. He discusses being a new husband and father. Speaking with Jonathon was delightful and you’ll find as we did that he’s an inspiration to all of us.
