Time to Move On, Time to Get Going
Manage episode 425593416 series 3423769
This week's guest is Justin Jesudas.
As a good host should, I arrive at the online studio well in advance of my guests. It has nothing to do with tidying things but more to do with allowing my PC to get rolling.
And as luck has it, I always have time to turn on some tunes courtesy of Pandora. On the day of my recording with Justin, the first song that started pouring through my headphones was Time to Move On by Tom Petty on the Wildflowers album.
The opening stanza goes like this:
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, time to get going
As I was reviewing my notes for Justin's show, it struck me that Petty's words fit the interview that I imagined.
As you'll find in our discussion, Justin doesn't let grass grow under his feet or the wheels of his wheelchair. With him, it's always time to move on, time to get going.
Okay, Justin's always on the move. So what?
First, consider that he has won 18 gold medals in swimming. Next, consider his work with the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras (LINK). Then there's his crowning achievement: His two little kids.
Oh, did I mention that Justin is a quadriplegic?
Keep on keepin' on, Justin!
