James and Nancy Keach on Hope, Science, Gregg Allman & Storytelling in the Fight Against Alzheimer’s

James and Nancy Keach join Reaching Higher for a conversation about brotherhood, memory, and the diseases that quietly reshape families. James — director of Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me, Turning Point, and the new Greg Allman: The Music of My Soul — shares how he found himself telling stories about Alzheimer’s, addiction, and grief, and what forty years of failed drug trials taught him about the scientists behind them. Nancy, a leader at BrightFocus Foundation, traces her path from the American Museum of Natural History to funding research on Alzheimer’s, macular degeneration, and glaucoma, and opens up about living with Crohn’s disease since childhood. Special thanks to previous guest Phyllis Ferrell for the introduction — and a few great questions.
