As Glen Gordon continues to explore Jonathan Mosen's life, we begin by talking about why it was necessary for Jonathan to quit full-time radio in the interests of starting a family. But their attempts to start a family began tragically.
Jonathan talks candidly about his then lack of domestic skills and what that did for balance in his relationship.

We learn how Jonathan's view of blindness and its impact expanded thanks to his role as a service advisor for the Foundation for the Blind.
We begin exploring Jonathan's role as the Foundation for the Blind's Manager, Government Relations. Jonathan talks about how it was not expected he would be appointed to the role, and the happenstance that helped him land the job.
