Created in partnership with the Disability Business Network and hosted by "That Blind Woman" Julie Woods, My Business Stars delves into the diverse experiences of successful entrepreneurs in the disabled community.
With guests ranging from technology entrepreneurs and digital marketers to creatives, the programme provides unique insight into their lived experience.
CCS Disability Action chief executive Mel Smith said My Business Stars was an important opportunity for people to learn about what it was really like for disabled people in business and the physical, social and attitudinal barriers that affect employment equity, something that was all the more important in the current economic landscape.
"We firmly believe that disabled people have the same right to meaningful employment as every other New Zealander.
"Now, more than ever, it is essential to highlight disabled people having autonomy and self-determination in their careers and financial futures."
Season two opened with founder of Pic’s Peanut Butter, Pic Picot, of Nelson.
Mr Picot shared details about his entrepreneurial journey and how he got to where he is today.
"Pic Picot has such an inspiring business story," Ms Woods said.
"He has so much experience and has no hesitation in offering his unique perspectives about business and life."
My Business Stars airs on Tuesdays at noon on 105.4FM and 1575AM, and again on Thursdays at 9am.
