Beyond Limits: Resilience, Purpose, and Refusing to Give Up with Kenneth Kunken

from Born without a choice · host Victory Igberase

What does it mean to refuse to let life’s greatest setback define your future?In this inspiring episode of Born Without a Choice, we sit down with Kenneth (Ken) Kunken, whose life changed forever after a football injury left him almost completely paralyzed at just 20 years old. Rather than giving up, Ken returned to college, became the first quadriplegic to graduate from Cornell University, earned multiple graduate degrees, became an attorney, and served for more than 40 years as an Assistant District Attorney.Ken shares his extraordinary journey of resilience, determination, purpose, and family, proving that while we don’t always choose what happens to us, we can choose how we respond. His story is a powerful reminder that our greatest limitations do not have to define our greatest achievements.⸻Connect with Kenneth Kunken🌐 Website: https://kenkunken.com📖 Memoir: I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story📚 Kindle Edition: Available worldwide through the U.S. Amazon store:https://a.co/d/1t1UWIN
