In what is a truly inspirational story, Damon interviews Scott Harris, who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury in a 2008 motorcycle accident.

They discuss:

  • the accident,
  • what it was like waking up out of a coma,
  • what post-traumatic amnesia was like,
  • how strenuous the recovery was,
  • his main ongoing symptoms,
  • his biggest ongoing challenges,
  • his level of insight into his difficulties,
  • how his personality has changed since the accident,
  • what other people don't understand about brain injuries,
  • how important support from family and friends is,
  • the professional support he has appreciated,
  • advice for individuals with new brain injuries (and for people who want to best support them),

and

  • how he challenged himself by travelling solo around the world for 18 months, including snowboarding in Canada.

Scott is a motivational speaker who offers talks and workshops on brain injuries, risk taking, capabilities and the whole journey after adversity. For more information, please check out his website scottbharris.com.au.
