Introducing the Bound for Growth Podcast | Homeward Bound
August 7, 2026
At Homeward Bound, we’re committed to building a future where people with disabilities have opportunities to live, work, and thrive in their communities. That commitment extends beyond the services we provide—it includes sharing ideas, fostering conversations, and exploring what’s next for our field.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce, Homeward Bound’s official podcast Bound for Growth.
Hosted by Homeward Bound President & CEO Rob Edwards, Bound for Growth features conversations with leaders, innovators, advocates, and industry experts who are shaping the future of disability services. Each episode explores timely topics that impact our work—from leadership and person-centered support to technology, workforce development, community partnerships, and emerging trends.
Whether you’re a provider, family member, advocate, community partner, or simply passionate about creating more inclusive communities, Bound for Growth offers thoughtful discussions and practical insights that inspire new ideas and meaningful action.
Our First Episode Is Now Live
Our inaugural episode features Jason Laws and Karen Neidermeier from Therap, who join Rob Edwards to discuss one of the most talked-about topics in human services today: artificial intelligence.
Together, they explore how AI is beginning to transform electronic medical records and provider operations while addressing the ethical questions that come with adopting new technology. From improving documentation and efficiency to protecting privacy and maintaining human oversight, this conversation examines how organizations can embrace innovation without losing sight of the people they serve.
If you’ve been wondering what AI means for disability services, this is a great place to start.
