Zeke Shapiro was diagnosed with epilepsy at 14 — and today he's a TV news anchor and reporter. He sits down with Greg Grunberg to talk about disclosing epilepsy at work, the seizure that happened in his newsroom, and the team that made sure it never stopped him from doing the job he loves.
In this episode of Talk About It with Greg Grunberg, Zeke shares his epilepsy journey — from a diagnosis that came out of nowhere, to chasing a career in journalism, to moving solo to Quincy, Illinois for his first job in the news.
Along the way he and Greg talk about what it really looks like when a workplace shows up for someone living with epilepsy, and why being open about it can make all the difference.
If you or someone you love is living with epilepsy, you're not alone. Talk about it.
