Jeff Pearson looks perfectly healthy—but his brain tells a very different story.

In episode 276 of Gratitude Geek, host Kandas Rodarte chats with Jeff, a speaker, nonprofit founder, and host of Invisible Condition on e360tv. Born with hydrocephalus, Jeff has endured seven brain surgeries, six of them in just over a decade. But instead of giving up, he and his wife launched a nonprofit, a TV show, a caregiver support network, and a mission to bring hope to others living with invisible conditions.

Tune in to discover:

  • What it's really like living with a surgically-managed brain condition

  • How Jeff and Catherine launched Hydro with Hope and Invisible Condition University (ICU)

  • Why caregivers need just as much support as patients

  • How alternative therapies gave Jeff his life back when medicine said "just live with it"

  • The business reality of running a nonprofit with impact

Whether you're navigating your own invisible health journey or supporting someone who is, this episode will shift your perspective—and maybe even restore some hope.

🎯 Mantra of the episode: Launch and Adjust.
