After a devastating football injury left him nearly paralyzed, Ken Kunken didn’t just survive—he redefined what’s possible. In this soul-stirring episode, Ken shares how he transformed unimaginable adversity into a four-decade career as a prosecutor, earned multiple degrees, raised triplet sons, and became a voice for disability advocacy across the nation.
Dionne Malish dives deep into Ken’s journey—from testifying before Congress to narrating his own memoir, "I Dream of Things That Never Were." Together, they explore the mindset that fuels resilience, the underestimated power of community, and why breaking down doors (literally and figuratively) matters more than ever.
This conversation is not just about triumph—it's a masterclass in perseverance, perspective, and the power of purpose.
