🎧 Listen Now to Redefine Success and boundaries

Welcome back to Treading the Waters of Life, a member of the Sunday Edition family of podcasts!

Are you living a life that truly reflects what is important to you? Does your calendar and how you spend your money tell the same story as your heart?

Join host Sylvia Stinson-Perez, author of Treading the Waters of Life: A Guide to Self-Reflection and Action, as she dives deep into the profound practice of clarifying and living out your core values. This isn't about nice ideas—it's about setting the compass points that guide your daily choices, relationships, and pursuit of purpose.

🎙️ Meet Our Inspiring Guests

Sylvia is joined by two incredible individuals who are authentically treading the waters of their own lives:

• Billy Brookshire: Author of “Loving Me” and a champion for human rights and making a systemic impact.

🎙️ Episode: Holiday Shopping Made Accessible with Patrick Long of InnoSearch The holiday shopping season is here, and with it comes the often-frustrating challenge of navigating inaccessible websites, complex checkout forms, and flashing deals. In this episode, Roberto and Anthony sit down with Patrick Long, co-founder of InnoSearch, to discuss how his platform is designed to eliminate these barriers for blind and low-vision users. Patrick details the “accessibility layer” that powers InnoSearch, which functions as a unified, seamless portal for e-commerce, flight bookings, and even grocery delivery. We explore the platform’s 24/7 AI-powered phone assistant, the new native iOS app, and the future of their powerful Cobrowse AI technology. 🎁 Special Offer for Listeners! InnoSearch is offering a $10 gift card (delivered as a coupon code) to the first 10 listeners of this episode! To enter, send an email to [email protected] with the word “Cobrowser” in the subject line. Discussion Highlights In this conversation, we cover:

• What is InnoSearch? A brief introduction for new users, detailing its mission to consolidate shopping, travel, and food delivery into one accessible experience.
• The AI Phone Assistant: A deep dive into the 24/7 toll-free line (1–855-SHOP-GPT) that allows users to shop the entire 1-billion-product catalog using conversational voice commands.
• New iOS App: Patrick discusses the recent launch of the InnoSearch mobile app for iOS and the roadmap for integrating the full voice AI experience.
• How InnoSearch Handles Deals: Worried about missing out on Black Friday or Prime Deals? Patrick explains how the platform captures time-sensitive sales in real-time without the overwhelming and inaccessible “flash deal” user interface.
• Security & Accounts: An important look at how user data is secured (using Stripe) and the benefits of creating an account (1% cashback, $10 referrals) versus checking out as a guest.
• The Future: Cobrowse AI & Accessible Storefronts: Learn about InnoSearch’s new ventures, including a feature that allows BLV entrepreneurs to build their own accessible stores on the platform, and the AI tool that businesses can add to their own websites.

Sunday Edition Spotlight: The Blind Travel Summit 2025 – Day Two Teaser

In this special Sunday Edition Spotlight, I am giving you a first look into day two of the Blind Travel Summit 2025. The full details and presentations are coming soon, but this teaser captures the energy, excitement, and unforgettable firsts that made the day so memorable.

Day two began with a milestone moment for me. I took my very first autonomous vehicle ride using the Waymo and Uber partnership. From the precise pick up to the smooth and confident navigation across Austin, the experience was both surreal and empowering. Riding in a fully automated vehicle for the first time opened a brand new chapter in independence and access. I cannot wait to share the full story, reflections, and reactions with you.

Once I arrived at the Texas School for the Blind, the day was filled with incredible sessions, advocacy conversations, and travel insights. I cannot give too much away yet, but I can promise you that the content coming from the Blind Travel Summit will be packed with information about accessible travel, upcoming changes in transportation, and what organizations like Open Doors are doing to expand options for all of us.

This episode is meant to tease everything that is coming your way. Over the next several days and weeks, I will be releasing videos and extended coverage of the presentations, interviews, and travel demonstrations across the entire Sunday Edition landscape. You will be able to find them in Above the Fold, the Sunday Edition News Facebook Group, on The Anthony Corona Substack, on Anthonycorona.com, and of course right here on Sunday Edition itself.

Stay tuned for much more. The Blind Travel Summit brought powerful conversations, honest advocacy, and a glimpse of what accessible travel can look like in the future. I cannot wait to share it all with you.

• : Kicking Open the Audiobook Narration Studio Door with Dina Perlman 

• Guest Spotlight: Dina Perlman

• Dina Perlman is an Audie Award nominated narrator with more than three hundred audiobooks to her name; she trained at Carnegie Mellon University and built a dynamic career as an actress, comedian, and storyteller in New York City. On screen she is known for Sex and the City as Ruby Rosen the jeweler; Spike Lee’s Bamboozled as Myrna Goldfarb; and guest turns across prestige television including The Good Fight; Blue Bloods; The Sopranos; Law and Order; Law and Order Criminal Intent; Third Watch; FBI; New Amsterdam; and Harlem. On stage and in clubs she has honed a sharp stand up voice and brings that timing and character sense to the booth.

• Audiobook Highlights

• We Know Dina from her beautiful Narration of Sunday Edition Collaborator and Friend Barb Hinske novels including Coming to Rosemont 

• Epic fantasy listeners know Dina for Polgara the Sorceress by David Eddings and Leigh Eddings; science fiction fans have followed her command performances through Mike Shepherd’s universes including Kris Longknife Redoubtable and the Vicky Peterwald series like Rebel; contemporary mystery and thriller fans will recognize her from multi narrator projects such as Wicked Wanted Widows as well as stand alone titles ranging from Christmas Moon by J R Rain to timely nonfiction and essay collections. Across genres Dina blends crisp pacing with vivid character work and emotional nuance.

• Inside the Studio

• We open the door on process; preparing a script; marking breaths and beats; choosing character anchors; and protecting the voice during long sessions. Dina shares practical notes on building stamina; tracking continuity and adapting to remote workflows. We also get real about auditions; rejection; and resilience; how to navigate rates; rights; and realistic timelines; and how to advocate for accessibility and inclusion in casting and production.

• Ambition; Balance; and the Filter of Love

• A through line in our conversation is ambition guided by values. Dina talks about choosing projects that resonate; saying no when the calendar is already full; and using love and family as the filter for major life choices. We explore how that compass steadies a creative career through feast and famine; how boundaries protect both the art and the human; and how making room for relationships and rest actually sharpens the work.

Sunday Edition Presents: A Conversation with Jo Elizabeth Pinto

This week, Sunday Edition dives into the remarkable life and work of Jo Elizabeth Pinto—author, advocate, mother, and self-proclaimed amateur zookeeper. In this inspiring conversation, Jo shares her journey, her creative process, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

Jo Elizabeth Pinto was among the first blind students to integrate public schools in the 1970s when federal laws first allowed disabled children to be educated alongside their peers. In 1992, she earned a degree in Human Services from the University of Northern Colorado, and while teaching disabled students to use adaptive technology, she went on to complete a second degree in Nonprofit Management from the Metropolitan State College of Denver in 2004. In 2022, she was honored as a Corn Mother—a nurturer of the community. Today, Jo works as a freelance editor and braille proofreader, continuing to nurture accessibility, literacy, and empowerment in her community.

As an author, Jo entertains her readers while giving them food for thought. In her fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, she draws deeply from personal experience to illustrate that hope is always an action away. Her unique voice and authentic storytelling have inspired countless readers to find strength, humor, and light in life’s challenges.

Jo lives in Colorado with her husband and their teenage daughter. Their lively household includes her guide dog Spreckles, a poodle/Maltese mix named Leo, three birds, and an aging cat who answers to Sam-I-Am when the mood strikes.
