Neuralink's 1st ALS Patient: Interview w/ Brad Smith (Elon Musk's Company)

Welcome to Neura Pod. In this episode, I share my interview with Brad Smith, the first person with ALS to receive the Neuralink implant. I also include video clips throughout the episode that show context at his family's home.


I had the great fortune of Brad inviting me to his home. It was a great privilege to meet his caring wife and energetic three kids. I got to see how ALS… and Neuralink have affected his life… the bad and the good.


Since there are many personal family photos and videos that I'm sharing here- I want to let you know Brad has watched the final version of this episode and he approved it prior to me publishing it.
