Artist Jef Caine joins Paul Krauss MA LPC for a conversation about his life as he is currently living in a van and working out of Co-Hoots Phoenix. Jef elaborates on his own personal journey of separating from a partner of over 11 years and radically changing his life from working a 9-5pm to becoming a freelance artist. In a way Jef has continued to deconstruct his own life and personality, just as he unraveled his past from Evangelical Christianity. If you enjoy existential philosophy and authentic conversations, or maybe you are just curious about living out of a van, then this is the episode for you. Jef and Paul previously had a long-form discussion on Religious Trauma, Healthy Spirituality, and the Psychology of Deconstruction w/ Jef Caine [Episode 107]

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.
