In this episode of "A Changed Mind", our host, David Bayer, explores the true nature of discipline and motivation. David challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that lack of discipline stems from unclear context and vision rather than willpower.

David shares personal experiences, including overcoming addiction, to illustrate how connecting daily actions to a larger purpose fuels consistency. He emphasizes the importance of not beating oneself up for slip-ups and reframes readiness as determined by opportunities, not feelings.

Memorable Quotes

"Discipline is a byproduct of context. If you know what game you're playing, these things are not a sacrifice, they are a joy."
"You don't have a discipline problem. You don't have a motivation problem. You have a clarity problem. You aren't clear on your context. You aren't clear on your vision."
"Readiness is not your job. God, the universe, whatever your higher power is, determines when you're ready. Don't fall short of what's possible for you because you think you're not ready."

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
