Liz Johnson is a former gold medal-winning Paralympic swimmer for Team GB. After retiring at 30, she has now focused her attention on helping disabled freelancers find work. Last year she launched The Ability People with her business partner, an initiative to help disabled freelancers find meaningful work. The pair launched Podium, a freelance jobs board for disabled freelancers.
