サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Today, I’m excited to catch up with my high school friend, Kenny Hersch. His story is truly one of a kind, and I think you’ll find this conversation with him an absolute joy.
Kenny’s symptoms began with minor neurological issues, but it took two years to get a clear diagnosis. Early on, doctors worried it might be ALS, which was a scary idea. It was eventually identified as Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS)—a non-fatal condition affecting speech and mobility. Thanks to technology, Kenny can join us today.
In high school, Kenny was a force of nature, and he remains just as remarkable. He’s embraced the mantra “accommodation without surrender” with resilience and positivity that truly inspires.
In this episode, we discussed:
Kenny’s life-altering diagnosis of PLS at 45
What it was like coming to terms with his new way of life
Tools that helped Kenny transition through his health journey
How a newspaper profile transformed him into a local celebrity
The impact he hopes to make through his legacy
