In this week's episode, Josh interviews Dr. Gerald Nebeker, a social enterprise entrepreneur with an incredible resume of meaningful work. But at the top of his list of accomplishments he put his family, his wife Laurel and their eight terrific kids, the youngest of whom has Down Syndrome.

In his professional experience and the personal experience of having a child with a disability, Dr. Nebeker recognized a gap that comes for parents when a diagnosis is received - a gap between the life they thought they would have, and the life they were blessed with. Out of this reality, Dr. Nebeker launched Orange Socks, a community uniquely created to resource and support parents with kids on rare medical journeys.

He is an expert in nonprofit governance and is an advocate, researcher, and national presenter in the field of developmental disabilities. In 1987 he started RISE, Inc., a nonprofit organization which provides services for people with disabilities including residential settings, day programs, employment assistance, managed care, and home and community based services.
