In one of his last lucid moments, my dad whispered advice that has shaped the way I live and make music: “Give ’em all you got. Don’t hold back. Be stubborn. Be open-minded. You’re at your best when you play it like you.”
This episode of This Unfolding Life tells the story behind my song Play It Like You—a song written in the months after his passing. It’s about legacy, grief, and the freedom of becoming your truest self.
Along the way, I’ll share how this advice continues to guide me and invite you to reflect on the voices of wisdom in your own 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.
