ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Explorer and Entrepreneur Amar Latif lost 95% of his sight by the age of 18, but he didn't want that to stop him seeing the world. But he found that travel companies wouldn't cater to him, and most airline websites were inaccessible.
His refusal to be stopped by his sight led to him launching Travel Eyes, the world’s leading commercial tour operator offering independent group travel for both blind and sighted travelers.
His life now as an Entrepreneur, TV Presenter and world traveller has led to him meeting some incredibly interesting people and being humbled by humanity.
He talks us through his career from his first business venture aged 12, through to working on the "sexy side' of accounting and becoming a successful business owner.
He also teaches us about the language around visual impairment and why it's always best just to ask, and how we can be better allies to the visually impaired.
Our chat with Amar was funny, inspiring, energising and incredibly heartwarming.
