In this episode of Coursen’s Corner, host Spencer Coursen sits down with Tom Babb, a former athlete turned tech leader and disability advocate. Tom shares his incredible story of becoming paralyzed at 19, rebuilding his life from scratch, and launching a thriving career at the cutting edge of AI, marketing, and brain-computer interface technology.

From deeply honest conversations about school shootings, mental health, and the future of wearable AI, to breaking down complex tech with clarity and passion, Tom brings humor, heart, and a visionary take on what’s next. This episode is for listeners who want to think deeper about ethics in AI, national security, and how we help vulnerable communities — while building smarter tech and stronger people.
