Summary
David welcomes his son Stone, a 20-year-old non-speaking student, to discuss his experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Stone, who has recently gained the ability to speak more through brain enhancement therapy, shares his journey towards greater communication, his struggles with being underestimated, and his ambitious goal to attend Harvard. The podcast also features segments such as 'Tip of the Week,' where Stone advises always presuming competence with non-speaking individuals, and 'Confessions,' revealing sibling dynamics and personal anecdotes.
