Podcast Appearances
Let's get into it.
Becoming Undone is a podcast for those who dare bravely, risk mightily, and grow relentlessly.
Join me, Toby Brooks, as I invite a new guest each week where we examine how high achievers can transform from falling apart to falling into place.
And I will tell you, today's episode is a special one for me because I get the chance to reconnect with someone I've known for a long time.
And I've had the privilege of teaching early in his journey, and it's been really exciting to see how he's grown since those days.
So joining me today is Dr. Sean Eagle.
He's now an assistant professor and researcher in the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh.
He's a renowned traumatic brain injury expert.
He's got more than 150 papers to his credit and counting.
I'm sure there's several in the opera right now.
Yeah.
He's considered a global expert on concussion, but his journey today traces all the way back to his experiences as an athlete.
So, Sean, Dr. Eagle, it's great to have you on the show.
Welcome to Becoming Undone.
Well, you reached out to me and I was super excited because your story was one that stuck with me.
In a given year, we would have 100 applicants for one of the student positions in our program.
And there was an essay associated with that.
And I distinctly remember yours, even to this day, how you were...
a leader on your football team in college and how concussion had really kind of derailed your journey.
And I recall us having conversations about how that was influencing you even then.
