*Episode Description:*
In this episode, we’re thrilled to sit down with Douglas Katz, a West Point graduate, disabled Army veteran, and adaptive product innovator on a mission to change lives in the kitchen. Doug shares his incredible journey from the military to entrepreneurship, detailing how his experiences as a disabled veteran and caregiver inspired the creation of the NULU knife—an adaptive kitchen tool designed to empower people of all abilities to cook safely and confidently.
Doug also opens up about his career transitions through industries like telecommunications and lending, his lessons from failed ventures, and how they ultimately led to his success with NULU. Leading a team of over-50 professionals, most of whom are veterans, Doug’s mission is to make independence and dignity accessible to everyone, from seniors to those with physical challenges.
