This episode's guest is Bret Parker – Executive Director of the New York City Bar Association and a man who epitomizes making lemons out of lemonade.

Bret's diagnosis of Parkinson's at age 38 inspired him to live by the motto “Do epic sh*t.” So far, this has included skydiving, a triathlon, and running 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents – all while battling the disease's symptoms.

Lauren sat down with Bret to talk about his diagnosis and journey since. They also discuss what the legal industry could do to help accommodate those with physical and cognitive challenges.
