In this episode of Broken Brains, host Bruce Parkman sits down with Daniel Pace, CEO of Invicta Prospects Group, to confront the growing crisis of repetitive brain trauma in the military. Drawing from personal experience and ongoing research, Daniel explains how blast exposure and head impacts contribute to cognitive decline and mental health issues often misdiagnosed as PTSD. The conversation highlights the urgent need for better research, cultural change in military training, and policy reform—while introducing BlastBuddy, a tool designed to reduce blast exposure and protect long-term brain health.
