About This Episode
Cameron Scott's path from traumatic brain injury to bestselling author to pioneer in empathic AI is one of the most remarkable recovery stories you'll hear. In this episode, Dr. Ayla Wolf sits down with Cameron to explore how a near-fatal TBI set him on a journey of radical reinvention — through fly fishing on the Middle Fork River, writing, and ultimately building EQAI, an AI platform designed to understand and respond to human emotion.
Cameron shares what he learned about the brain, identity, and healing — and why empathy, both human and artificial, may be one of the most powerful tools in recovery.
