#63 - Brad Smith: Elon Musk’s Neuralink Brain Implant Changed My Life

Brad Smith is the third person in the world to receive Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain implant. In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Brad opens up about life with ALS, what it feels like to control a computer with his mind, and how a FaceTime call from Elon Musk just before his surgery helped him face the unknown. He talks about the moment he said yes to Neuralink, the limitations of eye-gaze technology, and why this brain-computer interface is already transforming how he lives day to day. Brad also shares his thoughts on faith, identity, data privacy, and what it means to find joy and purpose—even when facing one of the most devastating diagnoses imaginable. From moving a cursor with his thoughts to dreaming of helping others through the ALS Family Scholarship, Brad’s story is one of courage, clarity, and hope.
