THE UNTHINKABLE ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR STORY. UNTIL IT IS.

In November 2008, Will Pike’s life changed in a heartbeat. Caught in the Mumbai Terror Attacks at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, he faced a choice between certain death and a life-altering leap. He survived, but the 50ft fall left him with a permanent spinal cord injury. In this interview, Will moves beyond the tragedy to share a masterclass on the "inner architecture" of resilience. Now a leading voice in disability advocacy, he discusses reclaiming his narrative, the role of humor in healing, and his mission to normalize disability.
