In this week's episode, I chat with Cameron Higgins, founder of Resonait. Resonait is out to change the face of mental healthcare, by mapping and triggering our symphony of brainwaves. Sound far-fetched? Have a listen, and Cameron's drive and experiences might just change your mind.

We speak about mental health versus mental illness, Cameron's neuroscience research at Oxford, his life leading disaster response for the UN, how both led to founding Resonait, and the drive to tackle a crisis of mental healthcare.

If this cause resonates with you, Cameron is looking to build out a broad team - tune in at the 34 minute mark to hear what skills he’s looking for. If you’re interested to get in touch with Cameron, you can email cam[@]resonait.com.

If you feel in need of help, please reach out to your local helpline. Australian resources can be found here.

Otherwise, please enjoy my discussion with Cameron Higgins.
