Disability in the Public Square | Beacon Wayfinding Emotionally Intelligent Navigation

Inspired by his experience as a father of a son with autism, Michael Lounsbury created Beacon Wayfinding Technologies. It’s an AI-powered platform designed to help people navigate complex spaces like airports, theme parks, and museums in ways that meet their individual needs. John Robinson and Michael discuss accessibility, sensory overload, safety, and the challenges of building a business with a mission to make the world more inclusive. Michael also shares how his military background shaped his resilience and why he believes Beacon can change how people experience the world.
