What are the key collaborations that have shaped Brian D Smith’s career?

Some of the biggest “collaborations” that have shaped my career aren’t just single partnerships, but ongoing communities and teams I work with.

• Helping Parents Heal – Serving on the board and collaborating with other parent leaders, presenters, and volunteers has shaped how I support grieving parents and helped me reach thousands of families.
• IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies) – Working with researchers, experiencers, and fellow board members has deepened my focus on consciousness and afterlife evidence.
• Grief 2 Growth podcast guests – Interviewing hundreds of mediums, NDE experiencers, and spiritual teachers has been a continuous collaboration; their work and stories inform everything I teach.
• Coaches, grief educators, and spiritual practitioners – Partnering on workshops, summits, and talks has helped me refine the GEMS framework and blend science with spirituality for practical healing.

Is there a particular type of collaboration you’re most curious about—organizations, podcasts, or individual teachers I’ve worked with?
