⭐ Topic #1: Are you thinking about starting your own podcast but not sure where to begin?
So many people reach out asking how to get started. And while podcasting isn’t terribly difficult, those first few episodes can feel time-consuming and a bit overwhelming.
Here’s an easier way to try it out: 👉 Come guest-host a solo episode of We’re Not Stumped and share your personal story.
These are single-person episodes — no guests allowed — giving you the space to speak openly and authentically. Episodes are 10–15 minutes long, making this a simple, low-pressure introduction to podcasting. All you need to do is record on your own device (yes, your phone works great) and tell your story or share insights from your experience. I’ll handle the intro and outro, along with all final edits, to ensure the episode matches the tone and quality of the show.
⭐ Important Note Final go-live decisions are solely at the discretion of Mike Bolland and the We’re Not Stumped podcast.
Topics must stay within the limb loss or disabled communities, including:
- Personal stories from individuals with limb loss or limb differences
- Experiences or insights from living with a disability
- Stories from disability advocates or support communities
- Perspectives from prosthetists, clinicians, and innovators serving these communities
If you want to test-drive podcasting — while inspiring and uplifting others — this is the perfect opportunity.
⭐ Topic Update #2: Am I Attending the Amputee Coalition Event?
Short answer: No, I’m not. In this video, I share a quick update about why I won’t be attending the Amputee Coalition event this year.

Three years after her first appearance on We're Not Stumped, Rose Booth returns to the podcast to share an extraordinary journey of resilience, faith, and new beginnings. After enduring 14 surgeries, multiple episodes of sepsis, a heart attack, and the loss of her right leg above the knee, Rose found herself on a path she never expected. A former technology executive, she left corporate America behind and discovered a passion for writing and ministry. In this episode, Rose discusses her memoir Dancing in the Valley and the inspiration behind her new children's book, Rosie and Her Robot Leg. Inspired by the children she serves through Vacation Bible School and the questions they asked during her recovery, Rose created a story designed to help children, parents, and teachers better understand limb loss and disability.
Over the years, I've been asked a lot of questions—some serious, some funny, and some I've heard more times than I can count. In this solo episode of the We're Not Stumped Podcast, I'm answering five of the questions I get asked a lot. Do I wear a prosthesis? How do I bowl with one hand? Have I always had a positive attitude? Do people still stare? And what keeps me motivated? I'll share some stories from growing up with a limb difference, becoming the first person with limb loss to compete on the PBA Tour, overcoming cancer, and why I've learned that attitude isn't something you're born with—it's something you choose every day.
