About this listen
In Episode 15 of Uncorked: Wine, Business, and Life, we sit down with South Jersey legend Adam Taliaferro — whose inspiring comeback from a career-ending spinal injury as a Penn State freshman became one of the most powerful stories in college football history.
After being paralyzed during a game at Ohio State, Adam was told he’d never walk again. Less than a year later, he led the Penn State Nittany Lions out of the tunnel — walking on his own. His journey didn’t stop there.
Today, he’s a lawyer, lobbyist, former NJ Assemblyman, philanthropist, and the founder of the Adam Taliaferro Foundation, which has helped thousands of spinal injury patients rebuild their lives.
🎙️ In this emotional and powerful conversation, we cover:
His injury and 8-month road to walking again
The moment he took his first steps
Support from Coach Joe Paterno & Christopher Reeve
Starting the Adam Taliaferro Foundation
His career as a lawyer, lobbyist & public servant
Lessons on resilience, family, and staying positive in the darkest moments
His love story, family life, and favorite (sweet!) wines at Saddlehill 🍷
