In this episode, I am joined by Travis Suit and Ronnie Kroell to discuss the candidacy of RFK Jr. and the broader political landscape in the United States.
We explore the possibility of moving beyond the two-party system and the need for healing the divide in ideological thinking. The guests emphasize the importance of critical thinking, questioning media narratives, and finding the truth for oneself. They highlight RFK Jr.'s courage, resilience, and ability to inspire a movement.
The conversation also touches on the need for emotional intelligence, open dialogue, and unity in politics. The dialogue explores the importance of authenticity and genuine leadership in politics. It highlights the need for leaders who are willing to address real issues and stand up for what they believe in, even if it goes against the mainstream narrative. The discussion also emphasizes the value of embracing our shadows and understanding our own biases in order to have productive conversations and bridge political divides.
The principal themes of the conversation include the need for campaign finance reform, the importance of term limits for politicians, the influence of corporate interests on politics, the power of the individual voter, and the potential for conscious leadership to create positive change.
The speakers emphasize the need to rise above fear, ego, and tribalism, and to focus on the greater good. They envision a future where diversity is celebrated and common humanity is embraced. They believe that by healing the divide within ourselves and coming together to address the challenges we face, we can create a better world.

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.
