This episode continues the conversation with Bill McCann, founder of Dancing Dots, exploring the pivotal moments that shaped his success as a blind entrepreneur. Bill recounts the nerve-wracking scramble of submitting a major grant during a snowstorm\u2014an event
that ultimately became a turning point for the company.<br>
He shares the organic evolution of forming Dancing Dots, from learning business skills out of necessity to building a small but powerful team of collaborators, including his longtime colleague Albert and talented musicians like Matthew Whitaker. Bill explains
how humility, resourcefulness, and knowing when to ask for help have been essential parts of entrepreneurship\u2014especially as a blind business owner.<br>
Bill also speaks candidly about balancing artistry with practicality: how blind musicians can fit music into their lives, why passion must be paired with a plan for sustainability, and the importance of keeping creativity alive even if music isn\u2019t a primary
income source.<br>
The episode closes with a full overview of Dancing Dots\u2019 products, training services, and Braille music resources\u2014plus where listeners can go to learn more or get hands-on support.<br>
