From Broken to Unstoppable: The Ken Kunken Story
In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode of PODCAST with SHEILA, we sit down with Ken Kunken — a man whose story defies limits, expectations, and every excuse.
At just 20 years old, Ken was a thriving college football player at Cornell University when a tragic accident on the field left him a quadriplegic, paralysed from the shoulders down. What could have been the end of a promising life became the start of an extraordinary journey.
Ken returned to Cornell, becoming the first quadriplegic graduate in the university’s history, earning multiple graduate degrees, building a remarkable 40-year legal career as an Assistant District Attorney, and dedicating his life to advocacy, public service, and mentoring others with disabilities.
Today, Ken is an author, award-winner, father, and inspiration to countless people around the world. In this episode, he shares raw truths about resilience, the power of mindset, and how adversity can unlock our greatest potential.
