What if all those “coincidences” aren’t coincidences at all?
Ethan and Justin dive into one of the most unsettling—and empowering—questions you can ask yourself: Are you paying attention to the signs in your life, or are you dismissing them as random noise?
After a spine-tingling story from Ethan’s recent cruise vacation, our hosts wrestle with synchronicity, neuroscience, and the possibility that the universe (or your subconscious) might be nudging you toward your next breakthrough.
Justin brings a healthy skepticism, while Ethan shares tools to recognize these breadcrumbs and act with confidence. This isn’t fluffy mysticism; it’s about noticing patterns, trusting your gut, and making aligned decisions in business and life.

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.
