What if a circular saw blade could revolutionize kitchen safety for millions? After learning knife smithing but being unable to use traditional knives during a severe flare-up, Doug created the Nulu: a groundbreaking adaptive kitchen knife that aligns with your musculoskeletal structure, eliminates grip strain, and puts the blade exactly where your hand knows it is. But this episode goes far beyond a product story.  This week, Kim sits down with our featured guest, West Point graduate and disabled Army veteran Doug Katz, who turned his own upper extremity disabilities—arthritis, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow—into innovation.
