Ken Kunken experienced near-total paralysis from the shoulders down while playing football at Cornell University. Ken went on to become one of the most celebrated prosecutors in the Nassau County, New York District Attorney's Office. In this episode, we discuss Ken's journey of resilience and learning to thrive with a disability. Ken notes that even loss -- even of something as devastating as losing control over your body does not close as many doors as it might seem.
