Yu, a 3x TEDx speaker and Forbes Accessibility 100 honoree, emphasizes that accessibility is about competitiveness and long-term growth.

"There is a business case for disability inclusion... the disability market as a consumer market globally is over $13 trillion," Yu says.

The episode addresses a critical shift facing organizations today: why disability inclusion must evolve from compliance to culture, leadership, and innovation.

Key insights from Yu include:

• Accommodations are low-cost, high-impact: 56% of workplace accommodations cost $0 and benefit the entire workforce.
• Inclusion drives innovation: Designing for disability sparks solutions like Walmart's sensory-friendly hours, which improve experiences for all customers.
• Culture shift from "shame to pride": When employees feel safe to embrace disability identity, they become powerful advocates, strengthening loyalty and authentic brand storytelling.
• Leadership matters: True inclusion requires elevating disabled professionals into decision-making roles and leveraging technology like AI to eliminate, not create, barriers.

Yu reframes accessibility as a competitive advantage: companies that invest in disability inclusion attract top talent, retain employees, and unlock vast consumer markets. Those that don't risk falling behind.
