Coma. Recovery. Philosophy.

Meet James Brown. In his first year of law school he began experiencing noticeable neurological symptoms. An MRI scan revealed a massive brain tumor. Though doctors anticipated a smooth recovery after surgery, James faced serious complications that left him in a coma for two months and dealing with lasting disabilities. But instead of giving up, he chose to fight back. He returned to Colorado, became a father, and boldly started a new career in web programming. Along the way he earned a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Illinois.Now living in Texas, James dedicates his time to leading multiple support groups, helping others navigate life after brain injury.  He shares practical tips for managing day-to-day life, the value of having a structured routine, and the vital role support groups play in recovery. He also reflects on the emotional and philosophical aspects of living with a brain injury, offering wisdom, hope, and encouragement to anyone facing their own "new normal."Send us Fan MailSupport the showYou can find this episode’s transcript here.New episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts. 🎙️ Do you want to support us?Give us some feedback, tell us what bindwaves has meant for you by emailing us at [email protected] us a rating or review on Apple Podcasts and SpotifyShare episodes with your friends!Make a monthly or one time donation at www.thebind.orgFollow bindwaves on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!🧑‍💻Visit our website! thebind.org/bindwaves
