Robert PaylorRobert Paylor is a speaker, author, and former collegiate athlete dedicated to inspiring others to overcome adversity. In 2017, while competing for the University of California, Berkeley men's rugby team in the program's 31st national championship, Rbert suffered a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Though doctors told him he would never walk or move his hands again, he refused to accept that fate. Robert endured immense challenges-battling through spinal fusion surgery, pneumonia, and the loss of sixty pounds in one month-ultimately relearning basic functions and defying the odds. Through relentless determination, faith, and an unbreakable mindset, he can walk 400 yards, he stood to receive his diploma from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, and his journey has inspired millions worldwide. Today, Robert travels the country as a keynote speaker, empowering audiences to overcome what "paralyzes" them and unlock their full potential.
