What if the greatest obstacles in your life became the foundation for your success? In this episode of The Prism of Perspective, I talk with Ken Kunken, a former Cornell football player whose life took an unexpected turn after a catastrophic spinal cord injury left him nearly completely paralyzed.

Rather than accepting limitations, Ken pushed forward, earning multiple degrees, becoming a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor, and serving over 40 years as an esteemed prosecutor. His story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and the power of unwavering determination.

In this episode, we explore:

- The life-altering moment that changed Ken’s future in an instant.

- How he navigated an inaccessible world and refused to let obstacles define him.

- The pivotal decision that led him from engineering to law.

- The mental strategies he used to excel in the courtroom without the ability to take notes.

- His philosophy on perseverance, purpose, and helping others rise beyond limitations.

- And much more!

Ken’s journey proves that challenges don’t have to hold us back—they can be the catalyst for extraordinary achievement. Whether you're facing setbacks, redefining your path, or simply seeking inspiration, his insights will leave you with a renewed belief in what’s possible. Tune in now to hear his remarkable story.
