In Episode 3 of the Motivated Savages Podcast, host Jody Savage shares a powerful and inspiring story of rebuilding her career, rediscovering her purpose, and learning to lead with heart. From part-time childcare at a nonprofit to leading HR in the fast-paced automotive world, Jody reveals how being seen by the right person can spark growth you didn’t know you were ready for. Through chaos, credentials, and coaching, she shows how trust, resilience, and small steps can create life-changing momentum.
The Savage Challenge of the Week closes this episode with a call to action: Think of one person in your life who quietly shows up every day without realizing the difference they make. Reach out and name a strength you see in them. Be specific. Because sometimes, your words are the spark someone has been waiting for. The proof that they are capable of more than they realize.

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.
