You’ve already done impossible things. So why are you doubting your next mountain when you’ve outrun the odds more times than you can count?

April challenges listeners to stop underestimating themselves by revisiting their own “4-minute miles.” Just as Roger Bannister shattered the barrier once thought impossible, you too have overcome odds that most people never thought you could. April dives deep into reframing past wins as fuel for future breakthroughs—and shows you how to apply this mindset shift to the mountain in front of you now.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Bannister Effect: Once Bannister broke the 4-minute mile, dozens followed. Your wins create the same ripple effect for yourself and others.

  • The Odds You’ve Already Beaten: From trauma, business hurdles, and personal setbacks—you’ve already outrun impossible odds. Don’t forget your own track record.

  • Rewrite Your Narrative: Stop letting doubt speak louder than proof. Your past wins are undeniable evidence of what’s possible next.

  • Challenge of the Day: Write down your personal “4-minute miles” and use them as ammunition when doubt creeps in.

  • Action > Doubt: Momentum builds when you start—success stacks like dominoes.

Quotes & Action Items:

  • “You don’t need to borrow belief from anyone else—you’ve got proof written all over your own life.” – April Garcia

  • Action Step: Make your list of every 4-minute mile you’ve already broken (big or small). Keep it visible and use it as fuel for your next challenge.


April reminds us that breaking barriers isn’t about waiting until you feel ready—it’s about trusting the evidence of your past victories. If Bannister could run what the world said was impossible, and if you’ve already outrun impossible odds, then your next 4-minute mile is not only possible—it’s waiting for 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.
