In this heartfelt episode of The Open Source Entrepreneur, we sit down with Cortney Marchant—author, advocate, and passionate storyteller—whose children's book Kyle’s Magical Camping Adventure is sparking powerful conversations about disability, inclusion, and accessibility.

Inspired by her husband Kyle, who uses a wheelchair, Cortney's book follows a young boy navigating a camping trip where he discovers that many things others take for granted are far more challenging for someone with mobility limitations. Through her writing, Cortney is raising awareness about ADA accessibility, breaking down barriers, and helping families, educators, and communities build more empathy and understanding.

Today, Cortney is using her voice and platform to advocate for change—and encouraging others to turn their personal stories into a force for good. Whether you're a parent, educator, author, or aspiring entrepreneur with a mission, this episode will leave you inspired.
