“What if the reason you feel stuck… isn’t because you’re broken — but because you’ve been sitting too long? Your gift was built to move. Let’s talk about the leaks that happen when purpose is parked.”
When a billionaire’s jet malfunctioned because it wasn’t being flown, it reminded Melvin of his own 1995 Nissan Pickup that started leaking just from sitting idle.
In this powerful solo episode, Melvin shares real stories — including a near-perilous fishing trip with his father — to explore the truth about what happens when we don’t use our voice, gifts, or purpose.
From misdiagnosed breakdowns to the internal erosion caused by stagnation, this message is for anyone in transition, reevaluating their path, or rediscovering their calling in a new season of life.
Don’t just reflect — move. Start the engine.

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.
