As a father and entrepreneur, you know what it feels like to carry the weight of providing, leading, and doing what’s right—even when it’s hard.

But what happens when doing what’s right means walking away from money, approval, and comfort?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Mikki Willis—filmmaker, author, and creator of one of the most controversial and widely viewed independent films of our time.

At the peak of his career, Mikki was faced with a choice: stay silent and keep everything... or speak his truth and risk it all.

He chose soul over strategy. And it changed everything.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What real strength looks like when everything’s on the line

  • How to stay grounded when the world pulls at your center

  • Why trusting your inner voice beats chasing outside approval

  • The power of standing firm—even when you're standing alone

  • A model for soul-led decision-making in moments of pressure

If you’ve ever felt the cost of staying true to yourself as a man, a father, or a leader...

This conversation is your reminder: you’re not alone—and you’re not crazy.
You’re just building something the world can’t take from you.

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.
