Catch the Wave of Accessibility: ADA Compliance in the Digital Realm

If you weren't able to join us at the recent Eagle Summit, you missed a critical update on an issue that's rapidly gaining momentum: ADA website compliance. As the digital world becomes increasingly integral to our daily lives, ensuring that websites are accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities, isn't just good practice—it's a legal requirement.

DOJ's Mandate: A Call to Action

In my session (Sandy Waggett), "Navigating the New Norms: ADA Compliance for Your Website," we dove deep into the Department of Justice's recent mandates, underscoring the urgency for all businesses to adapt. The stakes are high, with a 300% spike in litigation against non-compliant sites, highlighting a trend that can't be ignored.

Understanding ADA Compliance

ADA compliance refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act standards that must be met to ensure that websites are accessible to users with a range of disabilities. This includes visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities. Failing to comply can result in hefty fines and, more importantly, a significant barrier to providing equal access to all users.

Key Takeaways from the Session

The Basics of Compliance: How to understand and meet ADA guidelines for websites.

Legal Implications: Insights into the recent surge in ADA compliance lawsuits and what it means for your business.

Technical Strategies: Practical steps to evaluate and implement the necessary changes on your website.

Staying Ahead: How to maintain compliance as web technologies and standards evolve.

Eagle of the Week

Loren Cook

Well, Loren's legal bio reads:

The founding shareholder of the firm, Loren received his B.A. and M.A. in Accounting from New Mexico State University and a J.D. from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. His 20-plus years of international and domestic experience play a major role in our approach to tax and business consulting services. By using coordinated legal planning, tax planning, and business risk management solutions, Loren and his team can anticipate opportunities and develop innovative, flexible solutions for our clients.

But we all know him much better than that.  Loren, the visionary behind The Hack, is a remarkable individual with a passion for wellness and a deep understanding of the transformative power of biohacking. His own journey of resilience and recovery sparked the creation of Houston's premier biohacking wellness center.

A little over two years ago, Loren faced a life-changing diagnosis of a brain tumor. Determined to take control of his health, he delved into alternative treatments and discovered the immense potential they held. Through rigorous preparation for surgery and post-operative care, Loren experienced firsthand the benefits of therapies like PEMF Copper Wave Therapy.

His unwavering optimism and dedication to his well-being led to a remarkable recovery, leaving his surgeon astounded. This life-altering experience inspired Loren to share his discoveries with others, and The Hack was born.

We all got a preview in its infancy at the Houston Eagle Summit a few years ago. Today it flourishes!

Loren joined us at the 64th Eagle Summit and brought with him copies of Dr. Gladden's book for all attendees: 100 is the new 30.

We have a few extra copies! If you'd like one, join us at the mastermind on Nov 15 and we'll have them there!

Thank you, Loren! 

How We Are Making 100 the New 30

by Dr. Jeffrey Gladden

How We Are Making 100 The New 30" brings board-certified interventional cardiologist and founder of Apex Health, Human Performance & Longevity Optimization, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, directly to your doorstep to help you optimize your health and overall longevity.

During his mid-fifties, things took a turn for the worse for Dr. Gladden, personally and professionally. Despite eating what he thought was a healthy diet and exercising regularly, he became very fatigued, to the point that he could hardly get out of bed. Stress and anxiety led to bouts of depression. He was getting burned out on traditional medicine, as it became more and more scripted, focused on compliance, and less about exploring creative and resourceful means of caring for patients.

Much of his time and energy was spent fighting insurance companies for coverage for his patients instead of engaging with them for care. Politics between hospitals and competing doctors become cutthroat. At the time, Dr. Gladden had also worked in a catheterization lab for a long time and felt he had “received more than enough radiation for one lifetime.”

Though practicing interventional cardiology had been his calling and livelihood for the last quarter century, Dr. Gladden knew he needed a change for the sake of his own health and that of his family. He threw himself into learning everything he could about functional medicine, bio-identical hormone replacement and age management medicine. This led to diagnosing his own subclinical hypothyroidism. He also did a deep dive into which foods worked best for his body based on genetic, neutragenomic, food sensitivity, gut biome and gut integrity data, becoming more selective in the quality and sources of his food.

By eating properly and replacing hormone levels, he began to feel more youthful again. Now it's time to share his knowledge and experience with you! Sit back, relax, as Dr. Gladden helps you look inward at your own health and shares enlightening conversations surrounding human longevity.

While there are only 5 episodes, each is packed with insights on wellness, mindset, and ideas around the circles of longevity. It's worth a binge listen!
