Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at the leadership team at Feller & Went like you’ve never seen. In this episode of Beyond the Bar, Thaddeus Went sits down with three firm executives to pull back the curtain on more than their professional titles. Listen in as stories from the Navy, Indian reservations in Arizona, Canadian oil fields, and college football fields fill the room with unexpected honesty and surprising laughter. Stories of search and rescue at sea, lessons learned on the frontlines as a probation officer, and crossing country borders for football scholarships show how real life shapes the people leading our team. You’ll hear about days spent training Navy sailors in underwater rescue, witnessing tough family situations as a parole officer, and growing up just outside Calgary during the oil boom. These personal moments reveal the heart and grit behind each leader. As the conversation unfolds, watch each guest weigh in on what keeps them moving forward: respect, consistency, responsibility, discipline, and the deep belief that leaders are here to remove roadblocks for those coming up behind them. The team shares core habits from their pasts, touching on emotional intelligence, staying positive through challenges, and reflecting often to grow stronger. You’ll pick up wisdom to use in your own work and life, like the gift of delayed gratification and why little daily choices matter so much over time. The leaders open up about mistakes, what they wish they’d learned sooner, and the hard-earned lessons they now share with their own kids. Whether you’re a client, a team member, or you just want to see what real leadership looks like when the suits come off, this episode brings you the voices and values that drive Feller & Went forward every day.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
