@theventure: Huberman's Stanford lab regrows damaged neurons. That is his actual field. He is a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology, and the lab works on rebuilding sight in damaged eyes and remapping the circuits that make people afraid. He already knew a brain could be rewired, because a court ordered him into therapy at 16 and it turned him around. He spent the next thirty years working out how. Which is why his friend's question in 2019 landed so hard. He had proof that a damaged brain can be rebuilt and no way to hand it to anyone outside the lab. So clips were never going to work. He is not selling entertainment, he is selling protocols, and nobody can follow a protocol they heard for sixty seconds. Two hours on one topic is the product. His email list went from 6,000 people to more than a million, and the podcast has passed 500 million downloads. Follow @theventure for the greatest founder stories ever told.
