What happens when a childhood filled with challenges, rejection, and feeling different becomes the fuel to change the way the world sees disability? Meet Carlos Murillo.

On this episode of The Wheelchair Round Table, we sit down with Carlos to talk about growing up with spina bifida, navigating life as a wheelchair user, and the emotional toll of feeling left out, struggling to make friends, and being treated differently as a kid. Those experiences left a lasting mark on Carlos, shaping how he sees the world and fueling his determination to educate others about disability.

Instead of letting those experiences define his future, Carlos decided to become part of the change. He's stepping up as an advocate, sharing his story, and building his platform through Rolling with Carlos Productions. With this being his fifth podcast appearance in a short period, Carlos is making it clear that he's got something to say—and he's not slowing down anytime soon.

And when we say Carlos has no limits, we mean it! From adaptive basketball, archery, tennis, and skateboarding to zip lining and scuba diving, Carlos is out there proving that adventure doesn't stop at the wheelchair. He shares his experiences in adaptive sports, his drive to try new things, and his mission to challenge the assumptions people make about individuals with disabilities.

But just when you think he's done it all, Jody Bennett throws down a new challenge: wheelchair boxing! That invitation sparks something in Carlos, opening the door to another opportunity to push boundaries and prove himself.

This is a conversation about overcoming rejection, turning pain into purpose, finding your voice, and refusing to let other people's perceptions dictate your life.

Carlos isn't waiting for the world to change—he's getting out there and helping change it himself.
